It's a great comic. Check it out.

[–]Eispeis 8 points9 points ago

Link to pictured comic

[–]feureau 3 points4 points ago

At first I read it as anti computer science comic then I realize my linguistic module is broken.

[–]heretoplay 20 points21 points ago

It's strange that the OP says they found out where it came from but doesn't actually post where it came from or who made it.

[–]Razimek 20 points21 points ago

The watermark is in the image.

[–]heretoplay 0 points1 point ago

It's linked from imgur. Just send them to the site.

[–]Tuskinton 0 points1 point ago

Yes. Because linking a page on reddit never breaks it. EVER.

[–]Rawmin 1 point2 points ago

So link to the site, and imgur in the comments. If a site goes down from overwhelming traffic, that means tremendous page views, which is always a good thing.

[–]heretoplay 0 points1 point ago

It never breaks imgur either. Wait... What are we arguing?

[–]fightforalways 18 points19 points ago

Late to the game, friend

[–]steakmane 21 points22 points ago

Finds origin to the "gay seal", rehosts it to imgur.

[–]bobtheterminator 0 points1 point ago

Linking to webcomics usually breaks the website, unless they're hugely popular. This way more people get to see it, the site doesn't break, and anybody who cares about the source can look at the watermark.

[–]Rawmin 1 point2 points ago

If reddit brings down a site, that means its getting tons of page views, which is good. Is it so hard to link to the site and put an imgur link in the comments?

[–]bobtheterminator 0 points1 point ago

I guess you can do that too. My point is that if the site goes down, a bunch of people won't see the comic because the site is down, and won't care enough to save it and come back later. An imgur link generally ensures everyone who clicks will see it. I feel like the creator might prefer a hundred thousand people seeing his comic and a small percentage visiting his site because they like it than a thousand people who might not like the comic visiting his site and then crashing. I just made up those numbers, but it doesn't take a whole lot to crash a small site when all the traffic is coming at once.

[–]steakmane 2 points3 points ago

Well as it stands, the creator has lost 36,103 views 61,587 views and their revenue.

[–]Rawmin 1 point2 points ago

The point is, if a site is getting enough traffic to crash, they will be rolling in the ad revenue. So long as there is a mirror in the comments, everyone wins, which is why it's the preferred method.

[–]what_u_want_2_hear 3 points4 points ago

I always wondered where that came from (I love that gif!). Thanks for posting this--very helpful.

PS: love your user name!

[–]Hacker116 7 points8 points ago

While I appreciate your enthusiasm, you should really re-post this as a link to the artists website. Not only is it fair to the artist, but also a subreddit rule. Relevant information to your right.=================================================>

[–]wirralriddler 1 point2 points ago

"I swear it, old master king crow, Ser, we were only close together for warmth. And then I felt it, right up against me backside like a club. I can show you the bruise on me tailbone. And before I knew what was where, his-- his-- well, it was all out in the open, all angry as you like. And I didn't want to want it, but, oh, I did! And he spread me legs and-- ruined. The shame of it. Now I can never marry a perfumed lord. What will me poor savage father say? And I thought that we were done, but he said, 'Turn back around.'"

[–]Skwerley 4 points5 points ago

And you posted the Imgur link. Bravo. ಠ_ಠ

[–]Zvanbez 4 points5 points ago

Why do they have on ties?

[–]Quietbetrayal 19 points20 points ago

To look classy if somebody finds their frozen corpses. No reason to go out not looking your best.

[–]Kasuli 4 points5 points ago

Well what if there's a tie shop around the corner and they prepared for nothing

[–]lifecando 0 points1 point ago

You. Get your logic outta here.

[–]Se7en_Sinner -2 points-1 points ago

That's why I wear a suit and carry my wallet when I jog at night, so the people who find my body can identify me as one classy motherfucker.

[–]Breathing_Balls 1 point2 points ago

You need to stop holding your wallet while jogging. People will think you have just robbed someone.

[–]Captain_DuClark -1 points0 points ago

"We've dressed up in our best and are prepared to go down like gentlemen"

[–]XOJAMELLOX 2 points3 points ago

Why not? What are they farmers?

[–]epsilonius -1 points0 points ago

it's after 6!

[–]CUNTBERT_RAPINGTON 0 points1 point ago

So we can plausibly deny that they're naked.

[–]StewieBanana -1 points0 points ago

I was wondering that too. And are they naked aside from that?

[–]r_HOWTONOTGIVEAFUCK -1 points0 points ago

So that you could notice it.

[–]Zvanbez -1 points0 points ago

But I'm too hung up on that to understand the rest.

[–]hama0809 -5 points-4 points ago

You beat me to it

[–]spartancrazy26 1 point2 points ago

[–]r_HOWTONOTGIVEAFUCK 2 points3 points ago

All you gotta do is say "no homo" and it's all good.

[–]fatal_kiss 0 points1 point ago

"oh yeah" hahahaha

[–]Abscurat 0 points1 point ago

Today I Almost Learned that Seal is gay.

[–]Damasticator 0 points1 point ago

I'm the only gay Eskimo. I'm the only one I know. I'm the only gay Eskimo...in my tribe.

[–]captainmorgan23 0 points1 point ago

Did anyone else think that this originated from Senor Chang in Community? video

[–]notificationcenter 0 points1 point ago

I thought it was just the seal version of Ken Jeong

[–]JoelMontgomery 0 points1 point ago

He is always there when needed.

If you act gay, he will come. Wow, that quote seems kind of wrong when modified for that context...

[–]Ragnr 0 points1 point ago

it's all right, just a loose seal

[–]SwampSwami 0 points1 point ago

What?

[–]beenlazy -2 points-1 points ago

Seriously. Know your meme.

[–]FifeeBoy -1 points0 points ago

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points ago

[–]prejudiced -1 points0 points ago

Relevant movie.

[–]bigtreeworld -1 points0 points ago

Oh, I've seen that! I knew I'd seen Gay Seal before!

[–]raisin_bran_in -1 points0 points ago
