You win for now, but I'll be some people would disagree with you. I'm not quite sure what happened to my hovertext for this image… it had some more. We'll see how this plays out.
It's funny. It's like it only works on SOME of the comics, and I spend a total of 13 seconds coming up with something to put there. Maybe I need to go find a solution to this problem… but I'm lazy, and it's unimportant.
Heck, who knows? What constitutes alliteration anyway? Is it the whole work? The entire set of dialogue? Or is it simply the amount of words in between? If I have an essay with 250 words, and I use 58 words starting with the letter "Q" (which would be crazy interesting), does that count as being a large-form alliteration?
Are there both small and large form alliteration formats?
What alliteration is, exactly, depends largely on where you get your definition from. Traditionally, I have always thought it to be phrases consisting of words that start with the same consonant sound, thus often meaning the same letter, though not always. For instance, King of the Court would qualify as alliteration, whereas Golfing George does not. By other definitions, though, Golfing George would count as alliteration, at least when written. Also, by some definitions, alliteration also applies to words that start with the same vowel, such as “Aptly applying alliteration.” To some degree, alliteration occurs within any given document, as there are only some many words that one can use. The idea, though, is to avoid having alliterated sentences.
Alliteration can be used to aid in getting your point across and making it stick in the mind of your audience. Preachers do this quite often. The key points of their sermon will be alliterated. That’s not by accident. I could go on about it, but I think I’ve said enough for now.
Six for sure — the "plot in the third frame has a lot of words separating it from "part of the pandering."

didn't know you have hovertext. it's usually just the title though?
it could be seven if you connect "plot" with "please" from the next panel.
JB is stupid. . . you have at least 3 fans!
What about the Title? Does that count too?
i suppose. but i was just counting within the comic.
