Disregard previous statement: practically had no sleep, and for one funny reason or the other, I thougth there was no talk to the hand shirt. I’ll watch out better next time before saying anything like that again.
Needless to say, I feel pretty stupid right now :p
Pretty sad when Herman has to help you find the door.
BTW, the title attribute of the comic is broken. You can’t use double-quotes inside that, because it’s using double-quotes to quote the entire thing.
Since you’re using comic software to handle all this, not writing the page by hand, you shouldn’t have to worry about that. What should have happened is that the software you use should have automatically converted any double or single quotes into the proper html entities so that they would still appear properly in the site, but be differentiated from the real symbols in the code, making everything happy. But apparently the programmers forgot. This isn’t a hard task by any means. They just would have needed to send the text through the htmlspecialchars() function first.
I’m guessing that you’ll also notice problems if you try using angular-brackets in those messages.
You should make sure you have the latest version, and if that still has the bug let them know about it. If for some reason they aren’t interested in fixing it, I can. But I doubt it would come to that.
Meanwhile, you can do a quick-fix by editing this strip and quoting the ‘Talk To The Hand’ part with single-quotes instead of double-quotes.
(By ‘title attribute’ above, I’m referring to the ‘alt-text’. The alt-text is stored in the title attribute of the img tag that links to the comic. But I forgot that talking about the ‘title attribute’ might confuse non-webdevelopers into thinking I was talking about the actual title of the comic. So for clarification, I’m talking about the alt-text.)
Alex, I could have told you what was wrong if you’d asked me…trivial syntax is the only way you can hope to be repaid for your services as an All Purpose Thesaurus and Insignificant Fact/Statistic Repository
MY TWEETY TWOTES
Haha. XD
I always loved the “Smoke bomb disappearing trick doesn’t work” jokes
Like this one:

No, I don’t want to say “OMG, youve rippedoff from here!!!” It’s just another good example
You forgot to write talk to the hand on the shirt again
Guess she never got time to practice emergency escapes.
NINJA SMOKE BOMB!
Man I would have let Thurman go with her for being such a brat.
awkward!
Um… Nick, no I didn’t?
failed Smoke Bombs are popular everywhere, but i do have to say that that is one of the funniest failures i’ve seen…

Hmmm… I have a feeling I know what the conclusion will be: ordog winning the eating contest XD

Holy crap, Pizzasgood, I dont’ know how you figured out the exact phrase that wasn’t being shown and the problem that made it not work, but thanks!
I love how thurman caves in so easily.

I just right-clicked on the page and went to “View Source”, then used my good buddy CTRL-F.
