Because it's perfect

The title is Jealousy...


The rollover joke was "Oh, huh, so you didn't know that story?"

The level of emotion using only stick figures is amazingly high.

On either end:-)

It probably was one of the funniest/saddest cartoons they've had for a while...

i read that a few days ago and almost got really pissed thinking that maybe xkcd reverted back to the manic depressive state of things. then i read the last line and got a near record breaking grin.

maybe one of my favorites. definitely top ten.

//holy shitake mushrooms, i seriously have an 8 letter capcha. wtf.

I just read that two days ago and was also impressed at how he always manages to capture the right mood with just black and white shadows and stick figures, and then I always love how he's almost afraid to leave things melancholy or serious. I love his stuff.

Science... It works...

I've given one toast as a best man and had one given to me. Both were very nice, and I couldn't have been prouder to be the best man - or to give the toast...

but this comic is just withering. I wouldn't want to be on either end of it. Watch it from the crowd? Yeah...be the giver or the recipient? never...

Joey - XKCD had so much built up karma with me, so much good in the bank that he could do a dozen sappy comics in a row, and I'd still check them all...even the sad ones - especially that Valentine's Day one, especially that one - are perfect...

best comic on the web for me, hands down...easy...

TL - whoever the artist is, he's impressive as hell to me...I can't even explain to most folks how amazing the stick people are at capturing emotion...
