Why This Matters

As the years drag on, the early, golden years of XKCD constitute an ever-smaller fraction of its lifespan. The jokes have passed from whimsical, through insufferable, to positively Garfieldian. Today they are mostly just dated, written by and for the kind of people who still think Neil deGrasse Tyson is cool. I have not Greg's bonhommie or Carl's sheer malice, but this torch must be kept burning, however feebly; and so it is with the greatest humility and respect for hateblogs past that I join the succession of pyramid-kickers.
