Put the webcomic on a wooden table, take a photo...

I propose that this thread be the "wooden table sightings" thread. I further suggest that we be inclusive, and allow other types of tables and surfaces as well.

That table seems a bit too perfect. Perhaps this is a first: a computer rendered table!

I don't think so. From the news entry that goes with the comic:
"Faced with miles of ice and idiots between his home and work (and a
reported eight hour commute), Gabe chose to hole up in Fort Krahulik,
which means no tablet and no scanner."

I think it actually looks good. Perhaps it's really the result of no scanner, or maybe the artist was just being creative -- either way, it came out well.

Definately the result of no scanner; I'm from the same area and the report of an 8-hour commute (to go 30 miles) is not a lie. I'm shocked/thrilled they got anything up at all, much less something that actually looked good.

I wouldn't say too perfect, I'd say obviously fake.

Agreed. Bonus points for "elaborate" in the same news entry.

I can see Web 0.2 now ...
- Render picture onto computer-rendered wooden table.
- Print it out.
- Lay it on a real wooden table.
- You know the rest.
(And each successive version of Web < 1.0 can add further layers of recursion at step 1!)

Ok... I've been looking and looking and I can't find the original "wooden table" post. Can someone please enlighten me?
I do remember it had something to do with an explanation of how to set the background of a web page. Also, this might be useful for the new people to the group to finally understand this inside joke (like Paula Bean, fist, etc).
Maybe make a glossary thread with references? :P
