Selectors' Fight

#showdev #css #html #joke

Spanish version

I also started translating the cartoons into Spanish. Not all have an equivalent, but this one worked just fine:

Cómic con un selector CSS de clase diciéndole a un selector de id: “no tienes ninguna clase”. El selector de id responde “tienes que ser más específico”
