Thanks. I could not for the life of me understand the last panel because I kept misreading it as "frustratingly looking up at the clouds..." and the bit that followed just didn't make sense lol.

Just got back from niagra and while it was still amazing to witness and we got glimpses of the totality for about 7 seconds, still disappointed I didn't get a better view. Xkcd connected with me so much as I literally started looking up weather, room rates, etc for Sydney in 2028 last night.

My original plans were to travel to Niagara Falls. That seemed like the coolest place there would be totality at.

I am so glad I (due to circumstances I neither thought nor hoped would happen) am typing this message from Mexico City Airport instead while waiting for boarding to start for my flight back to Europe. It was perfectly sunny where I watched it.

TinklesMcPoo ,

Glad you got a good view! Now that I've experienced it with limited view but a really cool darkness, I'm ready to prep for a trip I hope gives a much better view in a few years!
