About this channel
What the channel posts
This channel reposts, in English, every new strip of the web comic xkcd, known for humour built on science, mathematics, technology and language. The latest episodes in the preview play with geology, particle physics, space missions and the speed at which information travels.
Each strip arrives as three messages: the number and title with a link to the mobile version of the site, the drawing itself, then the hidden text that normally appears when you hover over the image on the original site. Posting is automatic and follows the comic’s own schedule, three strips a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Who it is for
You will enjoy it if you like geeky humour and want new strips delivered without visiting the website. Some punchlines call for a bit of scientific background and a good command of English.
Good to know
The channel describes itself as unofficial: it is not run by the comic’s author. For the archive and the background behind each strip, the original website remains the reference.
