Don't forget to put a tiny dog drinking coffee in there, too!
IMHO the cabin is second best. Teepee is the best for building fires.
Cabin method is better when you want to cook above the fire. The flames stay low, but on tee pee method, the flames go too high and scorch the food.
Idk I hate balancing everything
As per usual, Randall keeps going after the punchline was already delivered, ruining the comic. It would be better if there was no text in the final panel.
It didn't understand the 4th panel as an explanation of the joke but just an emphasis on how absurd it is that the character planned all along that his installation will be wrong.
I feel like the last panel especially builds on the joke by continuing to divert expectations. It goes from humorously building too accurate of a log cabin, to coming back around to accidentally/on purpose starting a fire, thus completing the initial request.
The cabin is already on fire in panel 4. It is clear what happened. Then the words explain the joke.
The point isn't it is on fire. The point is the roundabout way of getting it to be on fire.
It’s a typical instruction delivery speech structure:
- Okay, let me tell you how to ____
2-n.
n. And that’s how you ____
(Optional) n+1. Any questions?
Hence the text in panel 4 completes the pattern.
You know, no one is holding a gun to your head. There are a billion other webcomics out there if you don't like this one.
I, for one, like Randall's more conversational style. I wouldn't want him to abruptly stop after a punchline like a stage comic from the 90s.
I for one liked the third and fourth panels
This guy’s wiring certainly isn’t up to code.
It'd rudimentary.
