  That's cool, though-- because it isn't aimed at "most people." Part of what makes xkcd so consistently awesome is how (unconsciously) tuned in it is to its target audience. What's always surprised (and scared) me, on the other hand, is that the readership of "Dilbert" scaled so well....

    "What's always surprised (and scared) me, on the other hand, is that the readership of "Dilbert" scaled so well...." With what I've seen, it would have surprised me if it didn't. I'm one of those who never really laughed at Dilbert. I just said, "Yea, I've seen that before." Sad, but true. I have to admit, thought, I've never really seen a feline human resource director. I've seen many that were dumber, but never feline.

    Oh, it is most certainly cool. It's one of the reasons I love the comic so much.
