Sometimes droll, sometimes whimsical, sometimes subtle, sometimes LOL.
Love this strip!
No one is forced to read it!

I never realized people in here can be THAT dense. The comments... Oy Vey!
It's a comic strip people. If you don't find it funny, move along...

This is funny? Blessed are the poor in spirit.

Finally a comic strip for me!

I noticed that the humor in Garfield had become less cutting edge over the years and was desperately looking for something I could print out and tape to my office door to remind my coworkers of my sharp wit.

All I can say is it helps to understand the joke before you make a comment :).

I almost found the comments from those who don't understand the joke as funny as the comic.

1 upvote

Yes, because this joke is too hard to understand, its humor being so deep, so overwhelming, so unreachable.

I would welcome a detailed explanation, with explicit pointers on when, how, and why to laugh. Please help us get the picture, do share the knowledge!

Apparently it was for some.

It's easy to understand, as long as you've heard about Google Glass and how it works. Fortunately for Mankind there are geniuses like you that know everything from the cradle...

With all those negative comments and just to be sure: you guys are aware it's a joke on Google Glass, right?...

Yes.

Yes, we do. Duck captures Duck, adjusts photo, gets beaten. Great joke. Laughing out loud.

WTD: An Unholy Crap series

If that's representative, then one has to have a refreshingly simple sense of humour to enjoy it. And have extraordinarily sensitive satire detection circuits.

Now that I understand this is about the blue guy (wearing Google Glasses) taking photos of the white guy, this is very funny indeed!

WTD as a whole is very funny. I can see it not reaching everybody's standard for free internet humor, but I for one love Mr. Duck and his antics.

PS: Wanna see useless photography related material (that's supposed to be funny)? Check out digitalrev on youtube.

you just dont get digital revs humor. not theyre or our fault that you lack good taste when it comes to comedy.

Oh, so its problem is it's free. Now I get it. Does it have a paid version where the author unleashes all his great humoristic skill upon the subscribers?

So are we supposed to call glass 'the lens?' Hey, glass is our word!

Where is the humor in this?

Google "Google Glass"... :-)

Thanks for the wake-up.

"OK Glass" wakes up the Google Glass.

Yes, that is funny.

OK Glass, turn off my computer.

6 upvotes

OK, Glass, take a snapshot, permanently archive this lame comic series, then let it wither away as it should.

8 upvotes

Yes, the series has been withering away... since 2006... and now Dpreview just put them on the map

4 upvotes

Maybe it was better once, but judging from these samples, well let's just say it lacks subtlety...

5 upvotes

Certainly not my favorite, this one.

7 upvotes

Hehe. Love it!

0.01? WTD for me is a really lame comic strip that never ever causes me to smile even 1 tiny bit. Just my opinion :-)

15 upvotes

If you don't like it thats fine. Everyone has different tastes and preferences which makes the world a much miore interesting place to live in.

However from what I can tell a lot many people like the strip (including me) so if you don't like it you are free to ignore this page and look at something else. Dpreview is not forcing anyone to read the comic strip.

I am as free as anyone to post my opinion. You and others like WTD and that is fine. I thought I'd give it another look to see if it is slightly amusing to me. Nope. So I won't bother any more.

7 upvotes

It isn't just a matter of having the right to have different tastes. The bigger problem is the huge dumbing down of DPReview this adds to.
