I would like to thank whoever turned me onto this comic strip.
Moving thread from IMHO to Cafe Society.
Yes, XKCD is classic.
I’ve always thought this one is perfect for around here.
I, too, love xkcd. Have we linked to this one?
A friend of mine turned me on to this about a year ago. It’s just so full of win.
Xkcd has alt-texts, too. If you hover your mouse over a strip, an additional sentence or two will appear.
Retrograde wheelbarrow…heh heh.
I think they’re hilarious.
ETA: Thanks for the tip on the extra line! Never knew that.
I like this one [maybe ever-so-mildly nsfw] a lot.

And I have this one taped on my dorm door. I’ve gotten some comments about it.
And the alt-text on the Wikipedian protester is great. “Semi-protect the Constitution!”
Oh, I like that one.
Yeah, and now you have to go back through every one to see the ALT-text. At least, I know that’s what I had to do when I found out.
A net buddy turned me on to this a few days ago. It’s pretty awesome.
Word.
I found out about xkcd when the strip from post #3 was posted awhile back. It seems like every once in awhile, someone posts a link to an xkcd strip on the SDMB. They seem to go together.
These two are my favourites, I think. Although I also really like this one from just the other day (especially the alt text).
I have a lot of admiration for xkcd. I was initially resistant to it because I didn’t like the stick figure style – I felt that a webcomic creator should display at least a minimum of artistic skill. But I’ll happily admit that I was wrong and good writing alone can carry a strip.
Indeed. What I like about it is that it’s not always about going for the funny. Sometimes it’s whimsy, sometimes it’s a parable about life, or love.
But usually it’s funny, and SMART funny which is key.
Last week, my psych teacher put one in he power point lecture notes. I was the only one that cracked up.
Which one?
I have “Everybody stand back, I know Regular Expressions” outside of my cubical at work. I also use a variant of an xckd line as a sig line in various places and am always amused when someone picks up on it.
This one splits my sides.
I like the xkcd stuff on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhZuC4ihBeo
Hard to beat this one for sheer geek humor. This one comes close, though. I actually feel like this sometimes. This one ought to be required reading. This one keeps us awake nights. And back again to pure geekery.
At the risk of being proven wrong, I doubt anyone here will get this one.
