   Actually, Mozart was well-known for having a filthy sense of humour. Fart joke were right up his alley — all the way through his adulthood. He was only 34 when he died, of course, still quite young, but even then, an armpit concerto is absolutely something he would have got a great kick out of :)

   Is this comic a current 2016 one or a rerun? Because Rubik’s Cubes are big again. All my teacher friends have been saying that their classes are full of them!

   It is indeed the Domine Fili Unigenite movement from Vivaldi’s Gloria! I’m so impressed that not only did they bother to notate music correctly, but it’s also a “real” work, and it’s one that is relatively obscure to the general public but one that many professional musicians would recognize.

   So far my only complaint is that clicking the ‘back’ and ‘forth’ date buttons for My Comics page is very slow. There’s no “loading” indicator (even within my browser) so I’m not sure if I clicked it right or not, and when I’m about to click it again, it finally loads up.

   Well I also wonder if ‘see comments’ would be better as a popup rather than fully going to the comic’s page. Or even by default opening the comic’s page in a new tab/window. It’s annoying to go to the comments, then have to click ‘back’ to get back to My Comics feed. It’s a minor quibble but it does interfere with the ‘flow’ heh.

   The comics look great.

   You have a good point. I do like the feature in general, because I’m not interested in browsing 100s of unknown comics just to find the occasional gem, but being shown one once in awhile is a nice way to test the waters. However, yeah, some comics don’t update often and you’ll get tons of needless recommendations.

   I agree that a good way to deal with this is to have the option to turn it off. I think that the best would be to turn it off via individual comics rather than globally, so you can focus on the rarer comics.

   I think he means “natural” peanut butter. You can get organic peanut butter which has stabilizers added. And you can get non-organic peanut butter which is “natural” – ie, just peanuts, so it separates.

   Yah… it’s a brake. “Break” is what his taillights did when he rammed the police car.

    Interesting. I too was about to comment on the mis-spelling, because I believed it to be “desserts” for both meanings of the pun. However, after seeing the other comments here, a little quick googling shows that both are considered correct today, but the original spelling was indeed “deserts” – an archaic term meaning “that which one deserves”. Because the term is no longer in common use, it’s frequently spelled as ‘desserts’ nowadays, which matches the pronunciation though not the original meaning. I have been edumacated!
