This struck a chord with me.
(Or is that actually a segment? Or perhaps a tangent?)

Oh my God!
I'm rereading these at home now, and they look totally different! Take
this one for example:
http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=227
On my monitor at work, the walls and the sofa are jet black, and the
characters are very dark and hard to see. I didn't even *realise* there
was meant to be a cat there! :-o
Damn, I think I should *only* read this using a good monitor... the one
at work has an insane gamma setting!

No offence, but we can read the webcomic ourselves if we want. No need
to spam this newsgroup with links.

Hmm... you're right.
Apparently there's something wrong with my brain. It seems I find all
web comics insanely addictive. And, perhaps understandably, I keep
thinking everybody else finds them similarly fascinating too. I keep
forgetting that not everybody is abnormal like me...

Right. So you've got the whole "I like web comics" part but you're not
retarded enough to mistake that for "I should tell everybody any time I
read something amusing".
Damn, I should make some *friends* or something... :-(

I remember the first time I heard that word. A somewhat amusing book was
encouraging the team cheerleader (known as "the wizard") to ensure
victory via "ritual defenestration of a watermellon." I was sure it
meant something crude. :-)

Yeah, I did this actually.
The *very* first one is more like a schematic diagram of what the
characters are doing rather than an actual "picture" of it.
I think Faye looked better in some of the older strips than she does
now. (Round about the 250 mark or something.) But hey, that's just me.
Did anybody *else* sometimes have trouble trying to tell which character
is which? The females all seem to have basically identical faces, but
with different colour hair. (Or perhaps this is just an artifact of my
brain disorder?)

Hmm, this one also amused me...
Do you have *any idea* how many words I've had to look up during the
course of reading this comic?
[I don't actually know any girls, so I have no idea if this sort of
thing happens in the real world or not.]

Heh. Well, after reading this one, I'm thinking about doing that even more.
...on the other hand...
Well, let me put it this way. If *I* did a web comic, it would end up
being about some hopeless dude who is basically me, who never the less
somehow ends up with a really fantastic girlfriend. I mean, it would
make *me* really happy... but... it wouldn't actually be very
*entertaining* for anybody who isn't me. (*o_o*)
Also, I can't draw humans. Especially female ones. Especially with no
clothes on.
Eeerrrr.... ignore that last...

4. Select a nice font

Next time you are about to write one your "blog style posts", try to think
if you could make a cartoon from it. And of course you can exaggerate and
bend the truth to make it more interesting ;-)

Yeah, but... some empty panes with a little bit of text in it is going
to get boring pretty fast. ;-)

Hmm... yeah, because "oh hey, this weekend I decided to go hang out with
a friend of mine, and we went to this neat pub. And then I asked if one
of his friends could join us, and this totally *hot* little girl turns
up. And we just sat around and chatted for a couple of hours. It was
great! I think he's going to ask her if he can give me her phone
number..." is really easy to sum up in a couple of drawings. [Not to
mention interesting for other people to... hey, wait! So *that* is why
nobody reads my blog! o_O Damnit...]

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

I was thinking more about girls casually telling people they're crampy -

Nah. IRL, girls have all kinds of different faces. And different bodies.
Most of them are fairly average, but lots of them are very beautiful.
And in *so* many different ways. God, I couldn't even begin to start
counting them...
