xkcd To Be Released In Book Form
History's Coming To writes "xkcd creator Randall Munroe has revealed on his blag that the acclaimed stick-figure comic will be produced in real dead-tree book form. Fantastic news for all fans of comedy, maths, science, and relationship screw-ups — especially given that the book will be sold in aid of the charity 'Room To Read.' Rumors that the book contains a joke in the ISBN remain unconfirmed." The NY Times article that Munroe links (registration may be required) is from April of this year, and I am amazed that this community didn't note the story at that time. The book will be published by breadpig, which was created by Alexis Ohanian, one of the founders of reddit.
Yes.
Used to love XKCD. In fact it produced my favourite piece of comic art of all time, and I mean from ANY medium.
Then earlier this year he wrote the asinine Firefly stuff and my interest died as instead of the usual whimsy and intelligence, it devolved into sad Whedon fanboy stupidity that was neither funny nor clever and I realised the guy is a fraud.
and I expect the moderation of this post to prove my point (yet again).
Nice passive-aggressive response, pigshit.
I'm sure you could do a far better job, but then you couldn't bask in the luxury of bitching.
May the door-closer be fast enough to put a doorknob up your asshole on the way out.
It's been shit knowing you, you condescending bastard.
YES and it has been this way for months. There are some incredibly brilliant XKCD comics but I'm afraid it's jumped the shark.
So, if we chain all you greenie whiners to giant hamster wheels for power, will you finally shut up?
This isn't a Mac fag story. You don't get points for calling Mac users geeks. You just get laughed at. Sorry about that. Only the Nazi goose stepping allegedly freethinking, yet somewhow all the same poseurs use Macs.
That which is done from love exists beyond good and evil
