Maybe I'm daft, but I just didn't get it. Could someone explain?

Re: I didn't understand today's comic
A bunch of Poli-Sci students are drinking, when one gets dared to come up with a good 'spin' for Adolf Hitler. So he makes up the story that Hitler was sent back in time from the future specifically to be so awful that nobody would ever wear a Charlie Chaplin mustache ever again, thereby defeating the alien invasion.

Re: I didn't understand today's comic
If it had made more of a reference to the size of the aliens and the velcro-like attachment system, I think I would have gotten it quick enough for the joke to work on me. Jokes have to sneak up on you, but they still need to be there. If they never reveal themselves that's not a good joke. That's just hiding

Of course in the comics alternate universe, Michael Jordan would have still been taken over by hostile aliens since he sports the Hitler 'stache AKA "the toothbrush" now.

I'm pretty sure you can't give any instance, fictional or non-fictional, when Michael Jordan interacts with an alien or creature from another world.

Re: I didn't understand today's comic
What a bewildering delivery! I'm with SMBC through the nerdiest and most obscure references, but this was just incomprehensible!
Re: I didn't understand today's comic
Oh. Before reading this, I thought it was making a reference to some physical feature that Jewish people normally have that others don't, but I didn't know what (maybe a big nose?). It makes a lot more sense now.
Re: I didn't understand today's comic
For some reason, the comic doesn't completely load on my computer but the other days' ones load very well. I was wondering if anyone had that problem too. It always stops to "History will loath him". It's not a big deal but huh... (Maybe I'm too addicted to SMBC which explains why it bothers me so much X'D)
