xkcd To Be Released In Book Form

Posted by kdawson on from the my-normal-approach-is-useless-here dept.

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.

      No what's a waste of paper is Harry Potter. All you stupid assholes are going to complain cause someone wants to put out a book and all of a sudden you give a fuck about the environment while JK Retard puts out the same trash about a boy with magical powers and you guys keep mum about it. All you dickheads who sit on slashdot all day posting bullshit and being arm-chair FOSSies waste more carbon in a day than all the books xkcd will even publish and ship out. So go tag this story wasteofpaper as long as you put a name tag on your head that says "wasteoflife".
