As a big fan of both Tool and XKCD, I highly approve of this comic

As somebody who isn't a big Tool fan I was a little disappointed after searching these. Call me when XKCD does a bit about King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

Randall seems to have aimed at recognisability in choosing those song titles.

Reflection is one of my favorites, super underrated even amongst Tool fans IMO.

To be fair, KGatLW is substantially more difficult to incorporate into a pun.
