I saw that at the same time I was reading about the new features in C# 3.0, and thinking that it's getting more and more lisp-like with each rev.
Every once in a while I still fire up Basilisk to run Macintosh Common LISP. On a Core 2 Duo, it's approximately 12 gajillion times faster than it ever was on a 68040.
Haskell also has the lovely '$' operator for when you're currying functions, not just composing them. It basically funtions as a open paren that doesn't use a closing one.
I've very much enjoyed reading xkcd. The thing about the patterns in floor tiles - true. I reread the whole archive when I discovered I had been missing the additional commentary in the image's title attribute.

Sorry, I just remember that from the "split-p soup" joke.

Seconded.
This might be the best known argument for Python.
It's not only elegant, it's worth making jokes about!
"Plz read OP N try2," as the kids might say.
However, it's not like it's difficult or hard to read if you use a decent editor or even remotely sane dev.environment.
If you're going to be petty about the parens thing, try Haskell...
(f(g(h(i(j 1 2 3))))) is roughly equivalent to f . g . h . i . j 1 2 3

The Fahlman approves.
You forgot to copy the "title" attribute, which is as much a part of the strip as each of the panels.
Come back, Shane!
Lisp users have children?

The title attribute thing annoys me because my stoopid browser truncates them.
