Agreed. I believe it’s a chalkboard, actually, and it’s far from the only comic to do something similar (Questionable Content’s Coffee of Doom specials, for example), but FTF’s have been unusually good.
Well, there was the ever-changing sign gag outside the hotel in the Fawlty Towers TV series, if you want to go back that far. (“Fatty Owls”, “Farty Towels”, etc.)
FFS Ive been reading this since the beginning and just NOW noticed the hover text … I can’t believe I missed that I read XKCD all the time and sometimes the best joke is in the hover text…. now I have to start at the beginning and re-read the entire thing
I think some dick would make Tom happy. (He’s classic Armored Closet Gay.)
You should put up a warning when linking TV Tropes. “Caution: Clicking this link will probably suck up your afternoon” for example.
I think Tom is the type of person that would enjoy some schadenfreude. So Omar’s failed date would make him happy.
Mostly a facade, I’m thinking. The usual gruff guy model; probably secretly weeps whilst watching Ol’ Yeller.

Ah, yes — Ol’ Yeller: Garfield’s favorite dog movie.
Ya know,I think one of the best gags in this comic is the amazing changing poster behind the counter in the shop.
I always thought it was a small chalkboard, so old messages could be erased and new ones added.

…so here I am all happy for a chubby little bald cartoon character…
…man oh man, I’m regressing…
Good grief!
🙂
Eh, I’d be happy for my favourite firearm and ammo supplier to get laid. I mean, shit, it can only IMPROVE my life, right? Hmm…
Ok, so who wants to take one for the team and shag Pelosi?
I think I’d rather cut it off than shag the Bug-Eyed Monster…
It’s not what your country can do for you… it’s who YOU can do for your COUNTRY!

Not even after a whole case of Cuervo.
Not even with someone else’s dick.
Not even with someone else’s dick AND a case of Cuervo.
C’mon, guys, SOMEONE has to brave the den of C’thulu.
I think the ISP or someone needs to be fired… Another DB error earlier today when connecting. >:(
…where the whiskey flows, and the beer chases my tears away, and I’ll be okay… Fun song!
Omar is happy? Hey, there’s four guys outside on horseback riding on by….
They’re being shadowed by a squadron of pigs at medium altitude…
Even less likely, the Pirates had a winning season.
We’re doomed.

Well…shit.
That’s one more proof that god hates the Cubs.
Omar got laid before they won the World Series.
Tom is only happy when he’s unhappy.
“Swoops in the wind”..Tom cracks me up.
