I don't want to get old anyway!

Here is part 2.

It's kinda addictive actually making these!

Hmm... the last panel seems to be how everybody seriously thinks I am. 
Apparently you don't know me as well as you think. ;-)

Also, now I'm wondering whether the 3rd panel *is* entirely black or 
whether it's my monitor. (Several strips from QC were jet black until I 
watched them on a functioning monitor...)

It's mostly jet black ... if I'd thought about it, I should have added some 
detail to the bedroom with #010101 :-)

Heh, because you haven't seen enough IRL? Like how Japanese characters 
all look the same if you don't know Japanese? :)

I agree with Nicolas on the most likely cause ;)

IANAW but I thought that the horny period and the menstruation period 
were a week or so apart. Being horny is only functional if you are fertile.

IIRC, you were almost done reading the whole XKCD archive, and *then* 
noticed the alt text, so you had to read it all again.

Did you notice there is some sort of blog post at the right of all qc 
comics?
