xkcd's new companion series rocks

[homelycooking]

Munroe's webcomic is really pretty lousy, but the what-if series is fascinating. He should drop XKCD and work full-time on this new project.

What.

It might be past its prime, but there's standard by which it could be considered "lousy". The comics from the hundreds to about the 400s or so are enough to make xkcd the best webcomic of all time. Even currently it's still better than at least 80% of comics.

You prefer XKCD to "Perry Bible Fellowship"? I think the latter is far more artistically beautiful, more clever, more ironic, more subtle in its humor and its intellectual appeal...
