Super! I like that page better than before! It’s been a few days since I had visited XKCD so I needed to catch up on previous comics. Now I don’t have to look at a lot of ads, I don’t have to look at a busy screen to find what I’m looking for… Nope, now the site is stripped down to its bare essentials - a comic and a clear set of instructions to see more comics. That - my friends - is a functional website. Ah, the good old days… Now get off my lawn! ---
