How to Engage in Hyperbole
Hey Android users, there’s a free Basic Instructions Android app! Please go check it out. Just scan the code below, or search the marketplace for “Basic Instructions.”
The free app gives you access to the ten most recent strips. The paid app (which is coming soon) will give you access to every strip, along with some other features about which I am rather excited.

Smurfy!
Hilarious! :D
Dumber than the argument over who would win in a fight between Anne Frank and Lizzy Borden? Oh, wait, that was two other idiots.
This is the greatest comic in the history of comics!!!
Extremism in the defense of stupidity is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of stupidity is no virtue.
Wait! Was it ever conclusively decided which superhero would win the slap fight?
Utilizing hyperbolity to make the jump to hyperspace in cyberspace humor. Pure genius.
Awesome as usual. I was laughing the whole way through. :D
This comic is brilliant. More brilliant than any before it or any that can come after it. I challenge you to try and claim this comic to be more brilliant than I can. I claim that even after the stars have lost their light, the brilliance of this comic will shine on. BIRILLIANT I SAY. BRILLIANT.
It seems that you're quite the hyperbollista!
Oh, and Juggernaught would win the slap fight...
Slap war between all the superheroes. A sort of superhanded Slappageddon. This has possibilities.
I'm not rolling on the floor laughing because I'm too old and dignified for that, and anyway, the floor is dirty. But in a purely hyperbolic sense, I am rolling all over the floor laughing and caroming off the walls.
You nailed the issue on the head Scott
Nailed it good with a board, and ummm a nail!
"Spell the crap out of it"? LOL.
Too funny- that's all I'm gonna say. Too friggin' funny. Okay, THAT's all I'm gonna say. Oh, how I laughed.
I was JUST YESTERDAY explaining hyperbole to my 9-year old. If I only had this then! Another great one - you're on a roll, Scott.
Now we must see a slap fight among the members of your mighty team of superheroes! I'm betting Rocket Hat wins by a scorched palm, and Omnipresent Man ends up slapping himself. A lot.
Although slapping the Human Joke--er, Knifeketeer--looks kind of dangerous, too ...
I am laughing like a hyena. I sound like a seagull.
I had to google the meaning of hyperbole to get it. I am actually learning from this silly comic. I feel like the Greek apprentice getting it from his master. ...ouch...
Hellboy would win the slap fight with his Right Hand of DOOM!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
*clears throat* Sorry . . . Hellboy fangirl-ism . . . .
@Zach - Anne Frank and Lizzy Bordon? Lizzy - she chopped her parents to bits. WITH AN AX. I think we let her win this one.
GREAT COMIC!!
And so goes the Hyperbolic Chronicle, to be preserved and passed down through the ages.
This is funny! I like all the forms of hyperbole. And the sllap fight with superheros.
About the Android app: Making the free version limited to only 10 strips is silly. Someone else could easily write one that shows them all, or people could just come to this web page. The only way you'll get people to pay for the "full version" is if the extra features are really, really good. They won't pay to see the strips when they can easily see them for free.
I'm rolling-- the fourth panel is AWESOME!
I want to have your babies. I hear there's an operation for that these days.
This came just in time for my AP class.
Smart
Great punch-line.
