No, don't fall for this one! I went there and lost a night's sleep. Not come across xkcd before, there's hundreds of the things, read a few, you've got to read the lot, too compulsive damn you!

I have that problem as well. I will try to catch up with most webcomics in one sitting... You can imagine what happened when I discovered megatokyo (no, I didn't stay up all night, but with 600 strips or so — it took me a while to read them all).

People telling others about sites like that should post a warning "May cause you to waste a few hours looking at cartoons".

It always worries me that something like xkcd can some out of a 25 y/o guy working at NASA amazed
But if you can support yourself by writing comics 3 times a week I guess you aren't too bad off smile
