You can feel free, comedy is a product of the people.
On an unrelated note, I have come to the conclusion, in the interim of when I first made the above comments, that XKCD -is- a bad comic. I have reallocated chubbies to atone for my past sins.

If I still had the power to lame, I would have done so for your actions in this comment-chain.
Alas my kneecapping days are over... so I shall simply chubb that one comment for your belated realisation that xkcd is, in a word, overrated.

I can't figure out why Onstad refers to himself in third person in the alt-text. Maybe he has a hard time expressing love for his characters.

I always thought it was a little creepy lookin' whenever Onstad picks up the cats, but I love how awkward they all get when they try to talk to him, like he's their tenth grade English teacher who they think is really cool but dont really know how to communicate with on an adult level yet, so just sort of blather uncomfortably.

yes. this analogy is perfect. i thought my tenth grade history teacher was an awesome guy, but basically the only thing i could ever think to say to him was, "oh man, mr. woods! i cannot believe that you like the band u2. you really should not like u2, they are a silly band. i'm sorry, i really don't mean to offend you... uhh, you like some good comic books, that is cool."

God I love this one. And this one . Something about when they get picked up is just so great. I love how the Onstads in the final panels of each are identical (at least it seems like to me, I always sucked at those damn find-the-difference things in Highlights magazine at the dentist's office).

has Onstad ever said whether the cat characters are based or inspired by any real cats he has known? It is nice to think of a sad grey cat called Roast Beef who gets picked up when he tries to buy a shirt on ebay.
