And qwantz.com (Dinosaur Comics) is now XKCD.

I'm making a note here; HUGE SUCCESS!

I am just kind of disgusted that I had to see a webcomic as bad as XKCD today, and even more offended that now it might seem like I actually navigated to that stupid fucking strip on purpose.

I read xkcd every time it updates.  With this joke, it just reminded me why I don't read this comic.  :roll:  Why couldn't the xkcd site link us to the dinosaur comic instead?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure XKCD, QC, and DC are three of the most awesome comics evar. <3

The sad thing is I didn't even notice the change! I opened all three up at the same time and read them before I checked the URL.

Hilariousness!

=D

I've been shamelessly procrastinating the creation of an account on the QC-forums (and the xkcd-onces for that matter) for so long. I guess what I mean to say is that I'm at a loss of words for how brilliant this is, that three ingenious webcomics, of which two I actually frequent (and I don't frequent that many comics) do this... Dagnabbit, did I already say I was at a loss of words for this?

And here I was actually suspecting some malicious script for a couple of seconds, clicking my xkcd.com-link after having checked out questionablecontent.net and having found something I just passed off as a funny gesture by Jeph. (However, a spark in my mind did actually say something along the lines of "hey wtf, QC isn't the raptor-fearing one, xkcd is!")

I guess it just stands to prove agirlandherfed's Otter when she mentioned something about six degrees of webcomic separation (back when I started reading her strip after having seen her guest strip here).

And now I will stop this barrage of unnecessarily long rambling sentences and enjoy the notion of a world making just a little more sense after this. :)

because everyone who reads it is pathetic and disgusting and worthy of the hate of you and the people who browse your browsing history and/or tap your connections to servers and judge your competence based on those connevtions?  W H I T ?
opinions people.

For me, there are many good xkcd's and many bad xkcd's, so i must read all to know.
QC is different in that there are more grey areas and that all will be read to completion.. Although i love it when xkcd continues and old chain like 'e ol raptor survival

I logged on to get my thrice-weekly dose of the XKCD, and I found myself here on April 1.

... and then I found myself three days later having read every single comic on this site. Not the same as XKCD, but altogether a rather addictive and charming comic. Many kudos to the author. And to the maker of XKCD, who led me to this site.
