xkcd dot com

Found a new online comic blog today and went through every single entry. Oh God. On the plus side, I did laugh so much I was nearly sick on more than one occasion.

The site is xkcd dot com and features everything from Leunig-like musings (but slightly teenage, so both more optimistic and slightly more nauseating, but only coz I'm old and cynical) to computer science, maths and physics cartoons. Um. My favourites, annotated:

A maths joke

Schrodinger's Comic

Comics from 5.30am

Rationalising (which is far, far too close to the truth.)
