Best of XKCD - The Greatest Nerd Webcomic

Ok, so if you are a nerd or geek of any kind then you have probably seen an XKCD or two. Well I am a die hard early adopting computer science geeky programming nerd – and have probably seen each and every one of them on the days that they are released.

But odds are if you haven’t seen these at all, or have seen a couple, then this list is for you! I have went through and picked out some of my favorite XKCD comics of all time (So far)!

Disclaimer: Before the haters post “Why didn’t you include episode XXX!? WTF!” there are a lot of these, and some of your favorites may not be included, so if you have a fav that isn’t here, feel free to leave it in the comments! Also note, these are in no particular order.

Perhaps we are getting ahead of ourselves here, some of you are probably wondering, wtf is xkcd?

XKCD is Awesomesauce!

It’s basically one of the most popular web comics ever made. It appeals to almost every geek because the topics are so broad that they give you the human side of geekdom – Topics include: Love, Math, Computer Science & Programming just to name a few. It has even been featured in Wired Magazine!

If you are wondering what it stands for… It’s not actually an acronym. It’s just a word with no phonetic pronunciation. It stands for the comic and everything the comic stands for!

XKCD is a creation of Randall Munroe that has completely exploded since its inception way back in in September of 2005 when Munroe decided to scan doodles from his school notebooks and put them on his webpage.

Now that you are all caught up.

I love XKCD, but for shame! You didn’t include the alt tags!

Usually they contain additional commentary and punchlines.

Thanks for linking back to the original comic pages though and brightening up the day!

LOL Yeah I was thinking about including the alt tags, but I figured the people that knew about the alt tags would click through to the original on XKCD – also, I wanted to link back for that so that XKCD gets the credit/traffic it deserves :)

Plus that would have taken twice as long to write this post haha

Thanks for Appreciating the work that went into this :)

I only ever read xkcd every now and then because as a designer and not a dev I don’t understand some of the references about arrays etc.

That being said I really enjoyed your article. Thanks.

I would like to propose not to wait until you earn enough amount of money to order different goods! You can take the home loans or just auto loan and feel yourself fine
