About xkcd

xkcd is a webcomic created by Randall Munroe, a Christopher Newport University graduate who worked as a contractor for NASA. It calls itself “a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.” The subjects of the comics themselves vary. Some are statements on life and love, and some are mathematical or scientific in-jokes. Some strips feature simple humor or pop-culture references. Although known for its crudely drawn cast of oddball stick figures, the comic occasionally features landscapes, intricate mathematical patterns such as fractals, or imitations of the style of other cartoonists (as during “parody week”). Occasionally, realism is featured.
