Words
Clever, intricate, and utterly fabulous. I'm honestly not sure which aspect of xkcd I fancy most. If you don't have the mental agility of a truckload of bananas, there's simply no way not to appreciate this imaginative comic that picks on the world from a strictly scientific point of view. Turn your brain on, and let xkcd guide you from the very depths of the matter to the heights of the Universe. Oh, and also through the movie character interactions!
While the vast majority of the artwork is very simple (yes, this is the best stick-figure webcomic, if you haven't (stick)figured it out yet), from time to time there's an exception proving the author actually can draw :-)
More than words
Merchandise
xkcd: volume 0 is definitely worth buying. Attention was paid to all details, and you will grow old(er) before you solve everything the author has prepared for you. Be shamelessly proud of your poor economic sense and buy a book of things that you could get for free on the Internet!
