xkcd vs. MATT

He's considering whether to retool the factory to produce theorems or colorful plastic balls.

he has no idea how humans reproduce

I'm pretty sure he thinks going all the way with a girl is performing cunnilingus for more than one hour.

all xkcds would be improved by having the main character wear a white moustache, a monocle, bedroom slippers and a tweed jacket with patches at the elbows

and adding "gadzooks!" or its equivalent before everything he says

You think Xkcd would be better as Wondermark?

Is this some sort of "girls who like small penis" fantasy dude is engaging in?

I think it's more 'girls who cannot tell lame implied fantasy world puns from reality'.

She's going to be his tiny pianist.

"The print xkcd book is not being published through a traditional company but rather by breadpig — which was created by Alexis Ohanian, one of the founders of the social-news Web site reddit. The site has sold high-concept merchandise like refrigerator magnets or T-shirts, but never a book."

Also just to clarify with that last comic, the punchline of the joke is not "tiny pianist" but "12-inch pianist", not that it makes it forgivable

gaaaaahhh that picture

the strip’s fans, who frequently act out the concepts in the strip in real life

ok waht

It's true. I live in the same area as Randall Munroe, and apparently a few months before I moved in, some of my friends went to an xkcd flash mob. And I don't think it unlikely that all 10,000 copies of this book could sell out in the Boston area alone.

Barf

He looks like some terrible Ferris Bueller gone wrong.

Yes Randall Munroe just drew you a vagina

My Freudey-sense tells me 'tripod' isn't unintentional but I'm not sure to what it refers there.

Freaking out the establishment whilst being too much of a wimp to draw a penis.

i think the choise is more to do with how cool he is with women as sexual beings.

choise, idaho

there's one for the office fridge

ugh nerds who think they have blown the lid off all our complacent hypocrisy are the worst. no wonder he's a paultard, "why do we have to TIP people, it doesn't really have any UTILITY to me"

I think I'm more disturbed by the pseudo-anus he's drawn me.

(also I don't get it. Is there any reference being made in the being in TGI Fridays bit that adds contextual sense, or is it just a bad joke? Oh wait.)

I wonder if that "hey!" word bubble is hiding the dentition?

xkcd guy is totally a self-styled dread pirate roberts on a tandem bicycle with a crate full of intimidating sextoys powered by a hydrogen generator and i cannot stress how much it creeps me

great post

Agreed.

Count me among those who don't get the joke in the one posted above.

they're doing the photos in a tgi fridays and somehow even the ones after they are interrupted make it into a textbook? and er also speech bubbles?

Why are they doing anatomical textbook photos in a TGI Fridays?

lady, if you have to ask...

people draw on the paper tablecloths at tgi fridays (right?)

drawing vaj and dong would be socially unacceptable.

but people really do have actual genitals in a scientific sense, it's true

we could draw naughty parts in a scientific manner

but we'd be kicked out anyway, because people who manage tgi fridays are small minded

pretty funny when you think about it

tracer i think you may have isolated the joke - people don't generally take anatomical photographs in tgi fridays! you see!

I just... guh.

i just read the alt text for the comic-->
"For many of the anatomy pictures on Wikipedia, I think this is actually not far from reality. They only look all formal and professional due to careful cropping."

So, there's his inspiration. he was looking at wikipedia.com/mens_testicles and though hey i've got a kooky notion!
