Today's comic is, again, a work of art...in which Randall is posting the slowest-updating animated-gif-style comic I've seen. Every half hour, apparently since midnight this morning, the comic updates to show the two main characters - cue ball and Megan - sitting by the side of a body of water, lying down, then Cue Ball waking down to dip a toe in the water. Some of the half-hourly updates have been slight movements of arms and legs; others have been larger movements of Cue Ball down to the shoreline.
It's amazing how expressive Randall manages to be while using only stick figures.
And it's amazing how dedicated and geeky his fans are...the xkcd forum thread for the individual comic...the explainxkcd post for the comic (though the site is being bombarded and is temporarily unavailable)...and a specific forum post showing each of the comics in order - and as an animated gif...
Randall, I shake your hand, sir...

Thanks for getting me sucked into this one!
I assume you have seen it, but just in case, a great automatic updating and compiling gif can be found here:

The nice thing is that you can pause and go forward and backward between frames.
Oh, I'm all over that one. Thanks
