I don't see how adding commentary to the comic would have added anything. 'Relevant' linking is an art and in this case it was artfully done. You don't want to ruin the punchline, if any, as if done correctly the juxtaposition of the thread you go from to the relevant new thread should hopefully create something tangential, underlined or poignant. This link was relevant, funny & poignant. Adding a small commentary would have removed from the latter two. It also has something significant to say about startups. A link like this would never have made the front page even though it tangentially says something important about entrepreneurial success (something that successful entrepreneurs too-often choose to forget). Startups should print this out and stick it on their wall.
