I imagine there will be fuss over this, “politics” in XKCD, as if (with the author being an academic) a PhD student getting grabbed off the street in your town against the state’s wishes for something she published somehow isn’t relevant.

There might not be. The only people that read xkcd are those that can understand it, so there could be a cutoff where you just arent gonna get the other side of the “politics”

If that was true, there’d be no need for ExplainXKCD.com.

And even then on some of the more physics-y ones I just give Randall the benefit of the doubt that it’s funny.

XKCD covers so many subjects, its hard to understand all of them
