Flaming

Interpretation vs. Incarnation: Interpretation works too. It's an interpretation of the same type of humor in a different format. I used interpretation because the word incarnation had already been used a few times in the article. I'll be respectful and keep the change since you've expressed a preference. Please don't flame. Explain your differences without being petty or name-calling. Rmj12345 06:45, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Brown-hair green-shirt man

The following appears in the body of the article:

"The majority of the comics feature a man with brown hair and a green shirt. He is always in the bottom-left corner of the strip when he appears (although he is always a different person)."

I've checked the archives, and while it's true that Weiner has a tendency to give his characters a green shirt, and many of these have brown hair, the included text overstates things. Also, when this man shows up, it isn't always in the bottom-left corner.

A conservative guess would place the regularity of this character-type in less than 5% of the SMBC strips; I propose the statement be removed from the article. I would have done so myself, but there seems to be some tension between some editors on this article at the moment. GreenCrayon 13:06, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

• Good idea. I'll go ahead and delete it, if there are no other objections. --Rmj12345 18:51, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

"Stolen joke"

Should it note that it was not a serious response? Some people think he actually accused her of stealing the joke. --Raijinili 02:22, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

It'd be fine with me. Rmj12345 06:24, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

This isn't quite true

"Like many single panel comics, there are no recurring characters." Moloch was in 3 comics I believe, and there may be a few other recurring characters (not counting characters like Jesus, Batman, etc.) Perhaps this sentence should be amended. --Pdeq 12:04, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I suggest changing it to "Like many single panel comics, SMBC does not focus on recurring characters." That, or similar, should be appropriate. :) --Muna (talk) 17:38, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

"Bizare humor"

I would agree that the humor in SMBC is unusual, but I've never heard of an actual genre 'bizare humor'. Is there not a better genre that could be used in the infobox? Jamesmarshall90 (talk) 18:03, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Single-Panel comic?

SMBC stopped being single paneled a couple of years ago, yet the article mentions it as such several times. This should be changed, right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.195.36.64 (talk • contribs)

Changed, thanks. ~EdGl! 16:24, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

Sexual Themes

After reading over many of these comics, should we also add highly sexual themes as one of the recurring themes? Much of the humor that I observed wouldn't fall under "dating," per say, but more simple crude sexual humor. fractalecho 13:08, 10 June 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fractalecho (talk • contribs)

Unmerge

I revived the Zach Weiner article and moved the Other projects section to it. Fridek (talk) 19:39, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Not the Same James Ashby

The Australian political advisor James Ashby is not the same person as the actor in SMBC Theatre. Should the link be removed?

Daily update claim removed

I removed part of the article that the comic has been updated daily ever since september 2002, since this isn't true. It does have a fairly consistent daily schedule, but not quite. 88.109.237.42 (talk) 13:05, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
