I find it mildly amusing that just the other day my XKCD-Cautionary edit post was killed off. Perhaps it was too close to home, or in too poor taste.

Nevertheless, Calvin and Jobs, utterly hilarious!

I'm trying to figure out why Calvin is even used, and all I can get is the lame almost-ryhme in the title. Calvin could be anyone or no one, all the character does is stand there and say "What's the punchline, Mr. Jobs?"

So you think it could be like http://garfieldminusgarfield.net/ ?

Jobs minus Hobbes minus Calvin?

(Hell, Hobbes minus Calvin would be trippy enough, since Hobbes is the imaginary friend...)

I hope that I am so famous and successful one day that people find it amusing to lampoon me using classic cartoon remixes.

"Calvin and Prrometheus" doesn't ring, but you might pass as an extra in Asterix and Obelix. The sky is falling on our heads!

Nah, it just wasn't funny.

Oh, I'm glad the master of humor decided to chime in here, thanks for setting everything straight.

/me shrugs off bs

Your insulting comment doesn't have a thing to do with why it was killed off in the first place.

I'm also fairly surprised you aren't railing on about how nickb's post is pulling hackernews down into the terrible dredges of fark! We wouldn't want to minimalize our up mods now would we?

It could be because Reddit has a subreddit specifically for XKCD (http://www.reddit.com/r/xkcd), and many HN readers are already familiar with it.
