Really, there’s very little more awesome than xkcd.

Saw that this morning and I thought it was both funny and on point.
Heh, I hoped he would do something with the negging thing.
This one was quite good and funny. First time in about a month, or so it seems. Am I the only one who thinks the creator ran through all his “A” material, and really just isn’t quite up to doing a daily strip? (Which is hardly an indictment, a daily is a brutal workload.)
I would so much rather see brilliance once a week (or when the muse strikes) than “eh” on a steady daily schedule.
For what it’s worth, XKCD comes out 3 times a week, not daily. I agree that XKCD has been rather hit-and-miss lately (actually, always, but the miss to hit ration has been rather high for a while), but XKCD has always been about Randall Munroe writing to please Randall Munroe. As long as he’s successful at that, I figure it’s up to him what pace he wants to keep it at (and perhaps if he reduced the pace, he’d also produce fewer of the ones which really resonate with a wide audience).
I sit corrected. What? He’s working to suit himself? But that doesn’t make me the center of the universe, so it can’t be right.
Do any of you other xkcd fans like smbc as well?
I love SMBC.
