xkcd

Another thing that was making me smile this week is the stick-figure webcomic xkcd.

Here’s my favourite one. It’s not often that a three panel strip encapsulates one’s entire philosophy. (That strip should be accessible to everyone, or at least to everyone who enjoyed, or might enjoy, The Big Lebowski.)

For the most part, though, the humour here is targetted to a fairly narrow audience, or rather to a selection of small, distinct (but slightly overlapped) audiences. It turns out, though, that I am in almost all of these audiences.

So, I present for you a selection of favourites, arranged by audience. If you fit in the audience, then I think you should enjoy the strips linked. If you don’t you will probably read them and say “Was that supposed to be funny?”. For each audience description it might be fair to add “…and with a slightly twisted sense of humour”. Caveat lector.
