New Year’s Eve Alone… With the Rest of the Internet

On New Year’s Eve, you might find yourself surrounded by thousands of strangers, who also spent $90 to get in line for… well… drinks served in plastic cups, standing outside in the cold watching animatronic Dick Clark on a jumbotron.  Or, you might be in the comfort of your home, waiting for the clock to strike midnight with your virtual and real friends around the world. We created this comic to wish everyone a safe and Happy New Year. Click on the image below or here to view the full-size version.

    I like how you included the IRC snippet. That’s probably what I’ll be doing tonight with my liquor, rather than pay 90 bucks out in this frozen weather!

    Doesn’t work because people on the Internet come from different time zones.
