Title: xkcd fanclub
Post by: Frenzie on 2013-12-10, 19:41:50
I've been reading that comic since '06, and a shared fandom certainly helped to cement my relationship with my wife. For instance, while we were still dating I gifted her a no (http://xkcd.com/87/) raptors (http://xkcd.com/135/) shirt and she gave me the "Science. It works, bitches (http://xkcd.com/54/)" shirt.

The amount of awesome stuff that guy makes boggles the mind. His what if? (http://what-if.xkcd.com/archive/) blog earned a solid place among my feeds. I highly recommend especially the posts on draining (http://what-if.xkcd.com/53/) the oceans (http://what-if.xkcd.com/54/). I also love how he references stuff later (http://what-if.xkcd.com/57/).

Do you have any favorite xkcd comics? Please share them here!

I, too, like the strip. But I've only just noticed that "DnD" is often used to refer to "Drag and Drop"… (see here (http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.7/dojo/dnd.html)) Had I merely forgotten?
Was it a Freudian Slip?

I'll attempt a xkcd-type cartoon, when I wake up; if I'm sober. :)

Why Twitter, Disqus, etc. are stupid (http://xkcd.com/1309/).

These are new to me. I love this one, particularly at the center where it says "touch tongue here."

That led me to another cartoonist, Farley Katz, who once had a "cartoon off" with Munroe,and this...
