There are about 4 or 5 Left 4 Dumb remaining.  And remember, if you don&#8217;t find a joke funny, it&#8217;s your duty as a human being to scroll down past a dozen comments saying, &#8220;This is hilarious&#8221; and leave a comment of your own informing the author that his work is stupid and unfunny and he should have quit ages ago. That&#8217;s a really important part of the whole webcomic process that far too many people overlook. It doesn&#8217;t matter if you&#8217;ve never commented before or have nothing invested in the series.  The important thing is that you guide someone else&#8217;s work through hostility and degradation.  If anyone gives you a hard time, just point out that you&#8217;re only trying to offer &#8220;constructive criticism&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>Thank you.
