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.

I've always thought that if Homestuck were a non-text medium, the characters would talk with headsets and their words would appear written in their conversation partner's chat client. They would look exactly as they would if the characters had typed them, emoticons and all. If there were a joke or something that only made sense in written form, we would just have to be shown the conversation partner's screen for a second.

But this is all totally hypothetical because yeah, Hussie will never make a Homestuck movie.

Yeah, I was imagining something like Densha Otoko (the movie, I don't know how the show handles it).
