XKCD Book: Volume 0

xkcd book     xkcd wrong on the internet

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve liked my comics in bite-sized form – little strips or single frames that could be enjoyed on their own without understanding a larger plot-line. Short attention span, much? You could say that, but my personal theory is … Ooh, shiny things!

I discovered XKCD years ago and was instantly addicted to its clever use of humor, pop culture, and intelligent ideas. Created by Randall Munroe, a former contractor for NASA, the XKCD webcomic is described as being centered around “romance, sarcasm, math, and language” – making it perfect for the witty geek who appreciates a hearty tri-weekly laugh. But if you’d like an easy way to enjoy the classic strips of the past, or just want to own one of the raddest coffee table books in existence, the XKCD Volume 0 book (including 120 pages of author and fan favorites from the first 600 comics) is where it’s at!
