Thanks for the link, some of those are pretty funny (unreliable reader is my favorite). I think the name of the comic itself is Dresden Codak, and the cartoonist is Aaron Diaz.

Factoid of the day: Petard means "fart". So, "hoist by your own petard"!

even better, how many of those plot points have been used in Doctor Who over the years?

it might have originally meant a fart, but a petard is an explosive device that must be hoisted upon a doorway or entrance... it was carried by one poor guy through a gauntlet of the enemy's arrows and rocks and he had to nail a large hook or nail upon the doorway and hang the petard (hoist) it up, set off the fuse and run like hell. sometimes he got hung up on the hook and/or the enemy's arrows pinned him to the door as the explosive went off. ergo, hoist upon his own petard.
