XKCD
Well first off, XKCD's one of my favorite comics. There are times where I think the creator is me from an alternate universe or something, we seem to think so similarly.
But mostly I just wanted to ask: is anyone else following Time like I am? I tend to check on it probably over a dozen times a day, and I'm not even sure why it's captured my interest so much.

And always make sure your dragons are happy little dragons.

Re: XKCD
I never noticed that one before. What was it when it first came up?

Re: XKCD
That is a good one. My favorite would have to be Just Alerting You. I had that as my desktop wallpaper for a while.

Re: XKCD
It's hard to really pick one. Desecration is one of my top faves for sure though. It's one of those things that I almost have to act along with and burst out laughing afterwards.
And always make sure your dragons are happy little dragons.

Re: XKCD
I love XKCD, but it's not one I check regularly. I usually wait until someone links a particularly good one.

Re: XKCD
Well, what caught me first is the simplistic yet lovely art, and those a bit melancholic pieces. The scientific stuff is good too. Sometimes I wish I could get the reference they are making at one piece or another (with having a href below the picture, or something), without having to do an extensive search... but yeah, that is just me being lazy. The "What if" food for thoughts are also awesome to read through.

Re: XKCD
The reasons you describe for liking XKCD remind me a lot of Buttercup Festival. The guy that draws is had an original series that was gorgeous that went for a while but then went away, and has now started a second series of comics. It's very simple art (slightly more complex than XKCD), but has a great sense of melancholic humor - the main character is a very small grim reaper, for instance.LooksAndSmiles wrote:Well, what caught me first is the simplistic yet lovely art, and those a bit melancholic pieces.

Re: XKCD
Wow. 108 days, 2700 frames by now, and it still looks like there's more to come. :)SamWiser wrote:That's awesome. I'll definitely keep checking it.

I wonder what site statistics say how often time is still accessed directly?

Re: XKCD
Zanclean flood?
Wiki'ed it, and yes, you are right.
BTW: I found a nice wiki, XKCD explained.
The page for "Time" is:
http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.p ... 1190:_Time
Apparently, there are quite some geeks ready to search out all details and plaster the net with the details and explain them.
