xkcd webcomic, xkcd.com/

Deep geek webcomic. The characters are all stick figures, but that's not due to an inability to draw on the part of the artist. These are some of the most expressive stick figures you'll ever come across. Sometimes the jokes are about math. Sometimes the jokes are about the Internet. Sometimes a strip is about stick figures falling hopelessly in love and there isn't a joke at all. It's sweet, in a cartoon violence kind of way. Some are so geeky you'll have to keep Wi ki pedia, Slashdot and Boi ngBoing open in other tabs just to look up the references. Updates three times per week. Mandatory reading for some of you (you know who you are), totally incomprehensible to the rest. (Derek Winkler)
