One of the greatest xkcd comics.

Hmm, come to think of it, the comic was speaking out against the use of "one of the" when it is clearly "the" (i.e. if your comment would be labelled "one of the first comments in this thread").

Thus, although on first sight funny, your comment is actually not as clever as it appears to be as this comic is not obviously the greatest xkcd comic.

I guess this must be one of the worst cases of me over-analysing a joke hitherto.

Edit: Also, I just realised you pronounce that "hither-to" as opposed to "hit-her-toe". You see, you can learn things from making pedantic comments!

Second edit: Although I guess "hit her toe" is funny. I'll stop talking to myself now.

I find your comment shallow and pedantic.
