Comedy is hard. Wank is easy.
With a fanbase like Homestuck's, the bar is set pretty high for "baffling" things to say about the comic, but one Timothy Sexton catches creator Andrew Hussie's eye with his review/article/wordpile on Yahoo Movies that clears that bar easily:

"If you remain unaware of Homestuck as an internet phenomenon, then you either don't kids or aren't aware of this here thing called the internets. As George W. Bush liked to refer (and probably still refer) to it. Homestuck is one day going to become a movie of some sort. Comedy is hard. Death is easy. That makes Homestuck a juggler."

You can read the full thing here. You can't read it in its original form on Yahoo anymore, though, because it was removed. According to Timothy Sexton, Homestuck fans got it taken down because it was too intelligent for them and they were jealous, or something. We know this because he says so in his follow-up article, entitled "Homestuck Fans: Not Quite as Hip and Intellectually Gifted as They Think."

"Don't feed the troll? What does that mean?" -dozens of Homestuck fans.

Hussie, for his part, finds the entire thing hilarious.

That's about right. I just had to sit down and read it and at that point I Got It. Any explanations were just good old-fashioned gobbledygook.

The best explanation I've ever seen is "Four friends play a game. Shenanigans ensue."

Also Casablanca is what, two hours long? You watch it, bam, you're done. Ingesting Homestuck would take a damn sight longer.

Ain't that the damn truth.

Casablanca is a neatly packaged treat, tied up with string. Homestuck is an endless fruit roll-up that keeps rolling along out of control.

It's kinda like Yu-Gi-Oh in that the fate of the world rests on an exceptionally odd adventure game.

This is a thing that is true. And then there's mythology and wonky powers and things with horns and yeah.
