I’d be really surprised if most people who read this aren’t also regular readers of xkcd.com. But in case you aren’t familiar, the above is one of the best ones I’ve seen in a while.

By the way, xkcd gets extra points with me because they publish a full RSS feed, so that you don’t have to visit their site to read the comic every day. It just shows up in your feed reader. Compare that with a (former) favorite of mine, Toothpastefordinner.com. I stopped reading because that guy, talented and funny as he is, doesn’t even HAVE an RSS feed for his comic. He’s actually hostile to RSS (he claimed that it didn’t have enough readership for him to bother making it).

Achewood is another offender, but at least Achewood has a truncated feed that notifies you when new strips go up. Besides, Achewood is good enough that I couldn’t stop reading if I wanted to.
