XKCD: A webcomic of smarm, pretentiousness, autism and failure

"Randallll...Raaannndalllll..."

This may sound like the start to a bad joke (which will get you warmed up for what's to come) but an ex-NASA contractor named Randal decides one day to make a webcomic based on doodles he drew in his spaceship design book. Instead of bothering to introduce regular characters or even attempting to draw them correctly, he just illustrates everything in the classic style known as "stick figure." It may not seem possible, but this puts his artwork at the skill level below that of Cathy Guisewite, a good sign that it's time to burn your sketchbook and kill yourself.

I don't know what kind of geniuses they have over at NASA (or even the contractors they use to build their genius stuff) , but it takes a very special fucking person to take a webcomic made entirely of childish stick scribbles and make it the most pretentious thing on Earth. Geeky Randal (who actually spells it Randall for extra pretention) bills his own work as a "webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math and language," and his work is beloved by the kind of nerds that make regular nerds want to kick their asses.

Oh, and by the way, the letters XKCD don't stand for shit.

omg XKCD reference ftw?

Here's some comics he drew. You can not make this shit up.

Haha great, now get over here and start spinning on my cock, you stupid bitch.



And then he showed you his fractals and raped you with a protractor or something, lol math




Randal dreams of being extroverted enough to make gay propositions in public. Sadly, only his stick figure friends can live out his erotic fantasies.




Randal hates himself :(



What in the ever-living fuck is going on here? Is...is this Aspergers?




Randal's arms are closer to his drawings than he'd like to admit.




Google didn't hire you because you smell.


Best comic evar.

If you are intelligent enough to see past the crude drawings but aren't sure whether or not to check out the XKCD site for yourself, a fan has made a helpful website that will let you know whether or not today's XKCD strip is worth a look. Enjoy.

Is XKCD Shitty Today?
