The joke is that he is like a child but still manages to spew misogyny from every orifice.

The most complete explanation of LICD is found in this Overcompensating comic.
As far as xkcd goes, sometimes it's funny, and sometimes it's not. It's a lot like most comics out there in that respect.
Jimor:
To me, the way xkcd will try on just about any joke or scenerio makes it akin to improv, kinda like "Whose Line Is It Anyway?". The consistency isn't there like a crafted, unified routine, but the willingness to throw just about anything to see if it sticks leads to some absolute classics. I don't find every strip to be funny and/or profound, but the batting average is high enough to keep me coming back.

I already figured out both of these things in about two seconds due to having functioning eyes. I still don't understand why the fuck they would bother. But then again I don't understand why a lot of people do a whole bunch of stupid shit.

some people seem to actively enjoy being hateful, and seek out things they dislike for this reason.
personally, if I don't like a comic I just don't read it, like a normal human being
Zingoleb:
Something about the term "normal human being" always makes me smirk.
No offense, Yeph.

Ah, but you see, you're not an attention whore. At least, I assume that you're not an attention whore.
