This week, Carl’s Jr. & Hardee’s began market testing a new footlong cheeseburger.  As you can see in the picture it’s 3 patties with 3 slices of cheese on a large footlong bread roll.  The whole thing will sell for $4.50 and it’s being tested in southern California and Indiana to see how it goes over.  You can read a little more about it over at USA TODAY if you’re interested.

So, here’s the awesome part:  if you were a fan of my first comic WTH then you might remember I made a joke about EXACTLY THIS BURGER.  Well, not exactly.  My joke was a 5 dollar footlong thickburger and this is a $4.50 footlong regular burger, but the fact remains that I totally called it!!  CALLED IT!

Well, either I predicted it or the fine folks at Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s must’ve read my comic and thought I was on to something great.  Which I was.  In that case, I’m fully in support of their new footlong burger but I also expect some free Hardee’s giftcards in the very near future.  I think that’s a fair deal for being the inspiration behind the next great heartattack-maker.  Right?

Anyway, for those that don’t remember or didn’t read WTH, I went ahead and dug up that old comic for you.  You can find it in the archives here on or just read the classic comic below.
