Your favorite XKCD
9For those of you unfamiliar. Xkcd.com hit random you will find something that makes you laugh. Probably. If you don’t get it. https://www.explainxkcd.com/
Yes a comic has its own wiki
You can use /image with the xkcd address it should show and per Randall’s terms I think that’s fine.we are linking to the site
“Can we print xkcd in our magazine/newspaper/other publication?
If it’s a not-for-profit publication, you need no permission – just print them with attribution to xkcd.com. You can post xkcd in your blog (whether ad-supported or not) with no need to get my permission.”
I was hitting random and/or next from the lighting bugs just cause but I think my favorite thing might be this on the blog for the national hurricane weather center. So instead of an image to start. A link

This one is intricate. Click on the image and it takes you to a site where you can view ALL the frames from this one. I remember watching as it came out frame by frame. Quickly at first and then slowing down. It took days to get all the frames. Time.

From: https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1190:_Time
This comic is actually a series of images which play as a rough animation. The pictures were updated over the course of time. The comic ran for 2973 hours (over 124 days) and consists of 3101 image frames.
For the first 120 hours, a new frame replaced the previous frame every 30 minutes, at :00 and :30 of each hour; the remaining frames have since been revealed every hour. The update was done server-side, with the server redirecting the image link (time.png) to a different image every hour. The source images have very long random hash names, which made it virtually impossible to access future frames. There is no way to view past frames on the official xkcd website, and only the current frame is posted there at any given time. Given the unique nature of this comic, the full image archives can be browsed through several websites that have been dedicated to tracking it (see below).
Readers typically have divided the comic into four scenes (see below). For example, at 850 hours (36 days 10 hours) the first “scene” of the comic ended at frame 971 with a fade to white, ushering in a second scene from frame 972. Some of the last few frames of scene 1 are nearly white, but faint images can be seen in the normalized pictures available below (Day 36, Monday, April 29, 2013, normalized).

(I wish I knew a better way to include the alt text… but I don’t feel like I should spend too long figuring something out.)
I can’t guarantee it’s my favorite xkcd, but it’s certainly the one I remember the best. It speaks to me. Or for me. Probably both. And there are a lot of people wrong on the internet. A 𝓛𝓞𝓣. 𝓛𝓞𝓣
Oops, minor error while trying to get “A 𝕷𝕺𝕿” added there at the end. Oh well.
@xobzoo This is probably the most famous one, because I’m not that familiar with xkcd and I’ve seen that one many times.
@xobzoo Use m.xkcd.com to get the mobile site, that adds a clickable “(alt-text)” which shows it in a yellow box.
@xobzoo
Does this mean…
You were wrong on the internet?
@blaineg @xobzoo derp. I did not know about the mobile alt text. I kind of gave up on them because the correct way is desktop mode. In landscape. Always. So. Thanks for that lol. I’ll change that one link
@unksol @xobzoo I just use the mobile site when I’m trying to grab the alt text.
The xkcd FB page posts the alt text above each comic.
@blaineg @xobzoo I mean if you are using Facebook or mobile it’s wrong. But FB is the greater evil.
@xobzoo I Have a signed print of that one framed on my wall.
@blaineg Yeah, I’ve been using the mobile site for years; I love it. It gives a cleaner interface and it’s dead simple to view the alt-text. What I meant was that I didn’t know a good way to include the alt text here in the Meh forum, so I just dropped it in a
>blockquote.And no, I wasn’t wrong on the internet — the internet was wrong on me!
Maybe I should have said favorites. But this is funny

I should note that Randall has an authorized screen printer that’s allowed to make a profit on the shirts containing the few selected popular designs from the strip that have been printed on that medium. Last year, by special request, Pegasus Publishing had a run made of an older one to sell at GenCon. The strip commemmorated the then-recent loss of D&D creator Gary Gygax, and GenCon itself would not exist were it not for Gygax’s game.

@blaineg In a total fanboy Squeeeee! moment, I got a heart from Brent (Data) Spiner for posting this one in response to some typical “what kind of idiot” flaming in a Star Trek group.
@blaineg Oh man, I’m excited about that just hearing it second-hand!
