        No, the author did not sign anything in the original image.

          Yep, XKCD doesn’t put any watermarks or credits on their comics. Best to link

      Maps that could only be obtained after defeating the Butcher in level 3 of the Catacombs. Those were exciting times.

    It saddens me how few people recognize the reference when I finish whatever directions I give them with “if you master the wolf, the wolf will guide you.”

    We should all be finishing every set of verbal directions with that phrase, in my expert opinion.

    yeah this is why i prefer OSM-based navigation, i’m not sure why the tech giants decided that it was a good idea to implement navigation in fifth-dimensional directions…

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

  • The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author’s website, for instance).
  • The comic must be a complete story.
  • If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
  • You may post comics from others or your own.
  • If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
  • The comic can be in any language, but if it’s not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post’s ‘body’ field (note: you don’t need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
  • Politeness.
  • Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.
