    I was going to print it and put it up in our office. Then, after printing out about forty pages of it, I realise that it's eighty pages wide and twenty high. F that.

    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    What dpi were you printing it at? taking it down to 300dpi should still be legible but significantly smaller.

    Re: xkcd: Click and Drag - very cool!

    I was printing each "panel" separately. E.g. a panel is this: http://imgs.xkcd.com/clickdrag/1n2e.png

    The text is barely legible as it is at that size on A4. In the x dimension there are 32 panels west and 48 east on the "ground level" row.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
