I had no idea Randall Munroe of XKCD has had a column at NYT since 2019. His illustration style is so distinct.
Still, would be nice to have his typical mouseover messages.
Hi!
This book is a collection of strips from xkcd, a free webcomic. I want to get that out of the way so you don't feel betrayed later when you realize you paid for a book of things that you could get for free on the Internet. I like books a lot, so I've put this one together from my webcomic (and added some annotations and other tidbits), but that's really no excuse for poor economic sense on your part. Still, if you've purchased this book, I suppose it's too late for regrets. Let's gloss over this incident and move on to the story of xkcd.
Its more than a dabble - there are 157 of them, but that's the type of thing that a paper looking for original content and writing would like.
The last what-if was published in May of 2018.
