Vorshtein?
That’s not a word.
Nothing happening now - everybody has gone home. I’m now predicting the tide will come in and clean the slate at the end of the day today and tomorrow it will begin with the boy and girl hanging out on the beach again. Repeat ad infinitum
Or… he’s drawn frames for it slowly decaying, and it’ll add a new one every day or so.
Hmm… the most recent few frames appear to be ‘zooming out’ into a wider scale.
My major reason for this quote is so I can follow the thread and not have to return to page 1 to get that link.
133 frames so far.
I bookmarked it yesterday.
Thank you, kaylasdad.
137 frames now. Something’s just come into view on the left.
To me, it looks like part of another castle!
Dueling Trebuchets!
A couple dozen more frames, then I think Randall will release the velociraptors.
I hope after all this build up that it leads somewhere pretty damn spectacular.
I think it’s already spectacular. A 24-hour* 1-panel comic is pretty unique. Especially in that it really hasn’t gone anywhere, but it’s kept a lot of us glued to the internet watching it. We’re the performance, not the comic.
*I assume 24 hours. If he works ahead and keeps things really simple, he could keep it going for days. Years, though I wouldn’t wish that on him.
Heh, thanks. Even I was returning to page 1 to click on the link. I really should bookmark it too!
It took me a full day to realize that in the lower right corner it mentions some other info, like you can use arrow keys to move it at your own speed. And yes, several times I have held down the right or left arrow key to see it go in “real time” - forwards or backwards.
If you can remember the person’s name, it’s pretty easy to type in the url box - it’s just xkcd.aubronwood.com.
I guess they’ve got time on their hands!
I almost wonder now if the whole thing is procedurally generated and rather than having a fixed end they’ll keep building new sand castles farther up the beach forever.
What he should do is just have it stitch together all previous XKCD strips, so the end result is a landscape similar to the click-and-drag strip with a landscape of the last 1189 strips (which would of course contain the click-and-drag strip)
I was thinking that as well. Maybe some sort of sand castle fractal…
