XKCD Invited To New Yorker "Cartoon-Off"

Posted by kdawson on from the no-raptors dept.

UnknowingFool writes "Farley Katz, who draws for New Yorker magazine, ran into xkcd.com's Randall Munroe in a grocery store. He challenged Munroe to a cartoon-off — each cartoonist to produce drawings about the Internet as envisioned by the elderly, String Theory, 1999, and one's favorite animal eating one's favorite food. In the ensuing short interview, Munroe describes XKCD as 'a webcomic about stick figures who do math, play with staple guns, mess around on the Internet, and have lots of sex. It's about three-fourths autobiographical.'"

  2. That's cartooning? by Animats · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    What crap.

    On a scale of 10 for drawing, Tintin is a 10, Girl Genius Online is a 9, Megatokyo is an 8, Penny Arcade is a 6, and these cartoons are around 1.5.

    As for humor, if you think those are funny, go see "Sex Drive", in theaters now. It's an R-rated sex comedy aimed at 14 year olds. Sort of like National Lampoon without the funny.
