New XKCD Forums

Copy that. Alright, folks, the theme this time is animals! Could be in the name, the lyrics, or in the audio somewhere/somehow. Get your submissions in by Sunday night, 11/14, and I'll post the song list Monday morning.

I know nothing of discord, and seek only harmony.

Stupid virus ruined my Thanksgiving weekend. On the bright side, getting the plague and coming through okay kinda gave me the impetus I needed to start writing a proper novel, and that's been going well.

Just in time to celebrate the 110th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic!

It was; it was only within the last few months that it was removed for real.

Ah, huh. Yeah, if you need to you can e-mail me at (username)@gmail.com instead.

Ah, I couldn't quite remember how that worked. Yes, we'll go with that.
