- Supernova36, on 08/04/2008, -8/+102Why is Duggmirror such a piece of *****?
- hijinksensue, on 08/04/2008, -6/+97Hey guys! Thanks for all the mean comments. I work all day every day to make these comics just so they can get Dugg, my server can die, and random internet jerks can let me know how much they hate them.
The best part is my thousands of normal readers can't see the comics they enjoy while the server is down. The whole experience is great, and I am richer for it. - Me1000, on 08/04/2008, -5/+90Mirror...

- retrovertigo, on 08/04/2008, -4/+43The Internet: Giving every ***** the ability to anonymously criticize somebody else's talent when they know they couldn't do any better.
- stgx, on 08/04/2008, -2/+40well at least you seem to have a sense of humor about it
- Halgy, on 08/04/2008, -1/+37I have a green stuck pixel on my monitor. I call him Norbert.
- batmanz, on 08/04/2008, -4/+38Yeah, and I hate dead servers even more.
- hijinksensue, on 08/04/2008, -1/+30Its actually Photoshop that allows hacks like me to create work for the sole purpose of having it criticized by awesome people like you.

- D3koy, on 08/04/2008, -1/+18While waiting for the page to load, I was staring at the all white screen, and noticed I have a dead pixel...boo
- omarciddo, on 08/04/2008, -16/+31ugh. just the other day I said Digg had completed transformation into 4chan. Oh well, if you can't beat em, join em.
Dead Pixels: Hardly Visible But Once You See Them.. you'll ***** bricks!!! - malechite, on 08/04/2008, -0/+15Green is the worst because it shows up on everything...
Try this http://killdeadpixel.com/
That is...if you want to kill Norbert... - relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -11/+24bricks were not shat
- retrovertigo, on 08/04/2008, -0/+11Lame comeback, FredFrederickson. This is like the "but my best friends are black" excuse that a white person would use after they get caught dropping the N-word.
- JimTheCactus, on 08/04/2008, -4/+15I'm not sure how it's possible for people who are receiving content for free to have any right to get bitchy about the fact that in their zeal to see a comic that they apparently hate (for reasons I don't get; I thought it was pretty good ^_^) they crashed the servers.
In any case don't let it get you down, you can't be doing that badly as a comic artist if you're getting the chance to meet all of the wonderful flamers on the DIGG front page. ^.~ I say keep up the good work and thanks for what you've given us so far! - deceiver117, on 08/04/2008, -4/+12My PSP has stuck pixels. I just hold it at the perfect distance from my face so that I can't see the pixels due to my dominate eye's blindspot.
- Coffeedemon, on 08/04/2008, -0/+8You just have to bang on the side of the tv with a hammer (a meat tenderizer will do in a pinch). You'll know when you've done it enough.
- UndeadOverlord, on 08/04/2008, -1/+9one of my favorite xkcd comics
- hijinksensue, on 08/04/2008, -0/+8Thanks, Jim. I appreciate the sentiment. Im not really upset because I know better than that take internet comments seriously. I just dont understand what is so fascinating to people about trying to top each other with spite. Who ever said being a jerk was cool? I guess it makes you feel better when you already feel bad about yourself.
- tuxidomasx, on 08/04/2008, -1/+9i hate that i saw this. i've never had a dead or stuck pixel... but it'd be just my luck that one would show up soon after reading this comic. similar things have happened before. its the universe's way of ***** with me.
- Slizzo, on 08/04/2008, -0/+7Actually, what you had was a "stuck" pixel, and you accidentally performed one of the techniques to repair that.
You "massaged" the pixel and returned it to a working state. No joke, just google "stuck pixel" and it will turn up results. - nickj6282, on 08/04/2008, -1/+8You should really go back and read some of their comics. Joel Watson is actually a pretty witty guy. Here are a few of my favorites (for you to browse when the site is back up):

- TheMack, on 08/04/2008, -1/+7This comment was funnier than the comic!
- WELLDOITLIVE, on 08/04/2008, -0/+5Shoulda called him Norbit
- aComa, on 08/04/2008, -2/+7OMFG it's "voila".

You must be new here. - winzo, on 08/04/2008, -2/+6They always do.
- wes00mertes, on 08/04/2008, -0/+4Can stuck pixels be fixed? I thought dead pixels were dead pixels, but stuck pixels had a chance to lead a normal pixel life again.
- lAmoebal, on 08/04/2008, -1/+5Not if you say it right..
Protip: VOYLA is not right. - retrovertigo, on 08/04/2008, -2/+6What does this comic have to do with Kevin Rose?
- b.m.a.n, on 08/04/2008, -1/+5thanks!
- Chicken, on 08/04/2008, -1/+5How is this even remotely similar to 4chan? Have you ever been to 4chan? Its a lot more nonsensical than this *****.
- stevealford, on 08/04/2008, -0/+3As a technophile, I enjoyed your comic. Sorry for any unwanted stress it caused your servers, but I hope the added traffic gets you more ad revenue along with the ability to get better servers ;). I wish you all the best and look forward to more installations of your work.
- PurgueFlantar, on 08/04/2008, -1/+4This is the text that was on the original page with the comic;
"This comic is a combination of the problems Josh and I had this weekend. Josh, for the first time ever, tried to use the HDMI cable connection on the 50″ 1080P Samsung LCD TV he bought over a year ago and realized it had probably been ***** all along. I actually had a dead pixel on my Wacom Cintiq drawing tablet (which is basically a small monitor that you draw on with a pen stylus).
I did some research on how to fix dead or “stuck” pixels and the options ranged from easy to adventurous. The scary method involved using a screw driver and a rag to “massage” the pixel back into working order. No joke. I’m sure if that didn’t work I would be advised to “caress” it with a brick wrapped in newspaper. Luckily, the simple option was to run a Java applet that flashed every color in the rainbow on and off 100 times a second, which worked splendidly. The seizures it produced were spectacular, though I regret biting off my tongue as that I used it frequently to speak and enjoy ice cream." - malechite, on 08/04/2008, -0/+3Thats because its a dead SUBpixel and the absence of the green makes it look red.
- lamech, on 08/04/2008, -1/+4Now you're bitching about his bitching, and I'm bitching about that - Just give some helpful advice on how to keep his server alive from the Digg Effect, insulting or complaining doesn't help at all.

Keep up the good work hijinksensue. - happytedium, on 08/04/2008, -3/+6I thought I got a dead pixel once. It was right after I had moved my LCD around (LANing, I'll admit it). After a few days of being pissed off about it, while watching a movie I touched the screen where it was and it disappeared, guessing it was just a tiny drop of water or something.
o/
(that or I have the almighty anti-dead pixel touch. :D) - inactive, on 08/04/2008, -2/+5The new fad is to say that digg is turning into 4chan.
- malechite, on 08/04/2008, -0/+3Sometimes they can, and sometimes they cant... there are a few methods including slightly massaging the pixel...and rapidly changing colors on the screen as I posted above, you can try this website http://killdeadpixel.com/ which lets you move a gif that quickly rotates through pixels of color... move it over your dead pixel, turn off your screen saver and leave it there for 12 hours.
- spazzx625, on 08/04/2008, -2/+5Thanks...But that was not worth the effort to find a mirror...That sucked.
