Am I a bad person for knowing, before clicking that link, that goatkcd is where they replace the last panel of xkcd with the goatse.cx guy? And that I think that's funnier than xkcd itself?

However, I think http://xkcdexplained.com/ is funnier than both of them.

XKCD can be funny a lot of times, but I also find it frequently unbearably smug.

So do I, and so do the authors of http://xkcdexplained.com/

has been explained for a while. This is humor as it should be writ.

Perhaps you dislike XKCD because you do not understand it.

I have found the following website greatly helpful in trying to understand this comic: http://xkcdexplained.com/ .

Here, all the graphs, jokes, and obscure references are laid bare for you to understand and enjoy. I hope this helps you to see the humor in the fabulous XKCD! Have fun!

You misunderstand, xkcdsucks is for those of us who loved xkcd when it was still good.

Regardless, XKCD Explained is much better and more insightful heckling of the comic.
