I agree, but I suspect most of them went through a traditional publisher. The big difference with what we're doing is that breadpig inverts the profit structure -- the artist (that is, xkcd) receives a majority of the profits from the book

We had some interesting discussions about how to best do it - jedberg@reddit had one of the cooler ones that involved building your own decoder to pass over the obscured text. In the end, Randy suggested a discrete Copyright-esque position

Funny you mention dating.reddit -- I distinctly remember PG bringing it up during one of our chats. At the time, it seemed rather laughable, particularly because we were still so small. I've been pushing for a basic bio for a long time now

Apologies, I was suffering from email bloat and missed it. Dawdle is now listed - thanks! Some gamer is going to be quite pleased.

Thanks. Neither am I, but someone is getting some top tier logo consulting ;)

I respect them, too. I'm a little surprised by how many people have harped on this minor detail. The name was intended to reflect how uncreative Pierre is -- embodying the worst of web2.0 copycattery (is that a word? I like it anyway).
