I love Ea-nÄį¹£ir jokes. He embodied the saying that if you can’t be famous, be infamous. Also, the tablets only survived because they were fired, so either he was proud of his grift and fired the tablets as mementos, or perhaps he finally pissed off the wrong people and they burned his house down.
*inserts the “Both?” “Both.” “”Both!”” gif scene from The Road to El Dorado (because let’s be honest, it’s far more likely to be both than just one or the other alone)*
Everyone’s favorite shitty copper merchant is making the rounds again. Funnily enough, XKCD gave him a shoutout on Monday.
had to read up on ea-nasir. i appreciate the almost pun. yes, eben, snooch is exercising his poetic license and doing a fine job of it this time. š
I am also dead certain y’all did this joke completely independently of XKCD. But the timing is funny.
It helps that Randall Munroe also just did a joke about him: https://xkcd.com/2758/
Oh hey, we know that guy.
Like saving Ghirardelli wrappers to hide next years Palmer’s pseudo chocolates in?
Love a good (bad) copper joke, and love your work. Great job!
Must be something about that guy this year. That’s two comics (yourselves and XKCD) both run with him for today’s punchlines.

Just read this today, after telling the story of Ea-nasir to my father the day before XD
XKCD also hit Ea-nÄį¹£ir in #2758 https://xkcd.com/2758 (Do links work? they probably should’t)
And a few people on Twitter are passing around a pic of a hardware store package of corroded copper pipe fittings
