- rogerclark 16y agoXKCD Explained is much better -- because it has the right perspective; it's explaining the comics to people who already understand them, shitting on the author and his idiot audience. XKCD is a condescending comic whose audience revels in its own perceived superiority, while any self-respecting nerd with a real sense of humor knows that putting a science or technology reference in a cartoon is not a joke in itself.
- lwhi 16y agoThe main point for me, is that XKCD used to be funny, insightful and reasonably accessible. These days it rarely achieves all three. (Shame you're being down-voted, I suppose hell hath no fury like a nerd scorned ...)
- dasil003 16y agoYou're very wrong about XKCD. There's a whole slew of un-funny techy strips, "User Friendly" being the canonical example. XKCD by comparison is often hilarious. The fact that it requires inside knowledge and targets a specific audience does not automatically make it unfunny, nor does it make anyone who enjoys it "revel in their superiority".
- JoeAltmaier 16y agoperhaps rogerclark is referring to this comic alone; it indeed seems to offer a technical reference as the sole point of humor, at least in the final frame. Although I do enjoy frame 3 on its own merits.
