XKCD

XKCD is, as the author describes it, “A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.”

This webcomic does not tend to follow storylines, and the few that have occurred are usually spaced
out. Each of the strips stands alone as a wonderful piece of humor, though. Many of the jokes made
are difficult to understand, however, or inside jokes, so the author has received much criticism from
those who think he is simply arrogant or trying to act smart. The arguments that his humor is simply
not funny or understandable to anyone though are obviously false by the fact that I understand all of it,
and find the vast majority to be funny.

XKCD also uses Alt text on all of the comics, which gives an enjoyable piece of commentary to the
work. Also, many of the comics revolve around themes in science or programming, so to fully enjoy
the experience of reading this one should probably be considered a geek or nerd.

For the one who is under that classification, though, XKCD is certainly a worthwhile read! The jokes
are clever, and it gives an interesting view of the world, and sometimes some neat ideas of things you
should do yourself!
