but what does xkcd stand for!?

I like good webcomics. I hate bad webcomics. I reeeealy hate badly drawn webcomics. You can imagine my dismay as I stumble upon Randal Munroe's xkcd; whose character art mainly consists of stick figures.
The highly professional webcomic chronicker that I am decides to look at one or two comics before banishing it to the endless internet oblivion...and and immediately bookmarks it in his (my) favorites. Why? Why? Why?
This has got to be one of the best single panel, no preparation, laugh out loud comics, and by laugh out loud I don't mean of the LOL variety but more of the actual-sound
-coming-out-of-your-mouth kind.
Also, this is one of the geekiest comics I have come across. Quite unlike the lame user friendly didactic geekyness, Munroe takes us places only the most arcane master of useless technical knowledge will feel comfortable in; I have to admit I almost came in the comic where he takes the Ackermann function on Graham's number just to freak out mathematicians.
I know what the crankiest of you are thinking: "I hate these goddamn comics where you have to have a freaking phd to understand a stupid joke!"
So what? This is the inter-tubes! You do whatever you fucking want. Or whatever I fucking want. Go read xkcd.

oao
