It is often based on the mindset of the reader, and sometimes it's probably just based on chance. If you happen to be in the right frame of mind and happen to read something one way instead of another, then it makes perfect sense. Unfortunately it's constructed in a confusing fashion, and if you look at it the wrong way it comes out confusing.<br /><br />It is the job of the author to create something which is as clear as possible, so that there is as little potential for ambiguity as possible.<br /><br />That said, this is the internet and you will always find someone who can read some completely batshit insane things into anything you write.rshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15828938843801425383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-36836269553137764332009-12-26T22:36:15.035-08:002009-12-26T22:36:15.035-08:00...

It's being published through a nonprofit corporation that doesn't publish books.<br /><br />It's one thing to criticize comics you don't like, but making personal attacks over something that's largely out of the control of an author(even in the case of publishing with a major corporate publishing house) is just low and sad. It says you're out to attack without reason or fairness, and it makes your other criticisms(which are sometimes valid) come across as weak and petty.<br /><br />Also, a comment on the blog in general. Yay for freedom of speech, but you know, sense of humor is one of those things, like taste in music, that varies from person to person. I personally hate half the shows on Adult Swim, but I know plenty of people who think they're hilarious and brilliant. Just like I think Harry Potter is a terrible book series, and I want to gouge out the eyes of anyone who reads those books, but there are people who think it's great. You may not like xkcd's style, but that doesn't mean it sucks. It means you don't like it. There's a difference.Anon041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-73906993880546679072009-09-01T22:46:33.547-07:002009-09-01T22:46:33.547-07:00i suspect that #631 is a thinly veiled brag that r...i suspect that #631 is a thinly veiled brag that randall has seen both a breast and a vagina.wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-13910871069729134542009-09-01T22:30:57.311-07:002009-09-01T22:30:57.311-07:00oh my god, carl's post about #631 cannot come ...oh my god, carl's post about #631 cannot come fast enough. dear lord, the mind boggles at what he can do with this one.dr_pyserhttp://www.hardkore.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-83779555834910977882009-09-01T22:27:19.595-07:002009-09-01T22:27:19.595-07:00I face palmed so hard at this one I think I have a...I face palmed so hard at this one I think I have a concussion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-20423833862050410952009-09-01T21:57:13.337-07:002009-09-01T21:57:13.337-07:00another one for the sexkcd files, thenanother one for the sexkcd files, thenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-46388898747506308002009-09-01T21:51:40.942-07:002009-09-01T21:51:40.942-07:00This TGIF comic is the weirdest thing I've see...This TGIF comic is the weirdest thing I've seen on xkcd since it started.
