As far as I know, nope, the true first frame is gone forever.

Yes it is just crap I re wrote from the first few forum posts on time. It would seem there are too many different groups of different belief to ever write anything that is not heresy in this world.

Yeah i'm not sure about the first frame. I just used this http://geekwagon.net/projects/xkcd1190/?frame=1
Here they don't have the proper png file name and instead link to http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/images/f/f8/time.png
for the first frame. Don't know if someone uploaded the real first frame to there or not.

I guess I'm the lone voice in the wilderness. But then I'm still of the belief that Newpix and Timeframes are the same thing.

I was under the impression that a Newpix was an old unit of time equivalent to one outsider half hour, and as a corollary to that, a longpix is an outsider hour, whereas a Timeframe is the period of time between new pictures regardless of outsider time.

I'm sure I liked it at the time and am almost equally sure I'd find it laughable trash -- or worse yet, dull trash -- now. The poster, though, has a curiously 1950s look, which holds out some mind of promise for the better class of trash.

More than 10,000 posts ago, slightly more than 100 frames after Time began. Honor is due. (Even if Wooloomooloo misspelled Chekhov.)

I've seen it, and actually, it's not a bad Saturday-matinee monster flick. And (if I may be forgiven for allowing the Outside to intrude) it's on Turner Classic Movies tomorrow (Friday 04/12) at 06:15pm Eastern. He's right about the movie poster (being a good boy and not hotlinking it).
(Is there anything else I should have parenthesized?)

They work at the restaurant in the middle. It's neutral ground, and it's also always happy hour there. And breakfast. At the same time.
Any place that always serves breakfast is eternal happy hour by definition.
