When we say “Everest is crowded,” this is what we mean

It even goes meta. There are coffeeshops in Amsterdam that guided tour groups regularly pass by outside to stare in the front window and observe other tourists smoking weed.

Maybe the answer to sex tourists in the Red Light District is sex tourist tourists who rudely point and take photos.

This is a great idea for a comic in the style of smbc. First two panels are your comment, the second panel is "Pretty soon the meta-tourism got out of hand" <drawing of a tourist^5>. The final panel is the entire human population as a directed acyclic graph of tourists^n, and a small group named "the resistance" is looking for the single "tourist zero" a.k.a tourist^0 so they can murder him and end the tourist singularity.

I read "smbc" as "xkcd" and immediately aggreed with your comment.

This style is much more in line with what SMBC writes.

Thank you for introducing me to smbc. I kept hitting the "RANDOM" comic button and hit this one, which is meta like the speculative one: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/2015-01-28

The topic is more SMBC. Both XKCD and SMBC routinely do X^absurd type comics.
