Is it a wobsite or a blag?

[Thanks to Carter.]

Given that these are licensed as CC-BY-NC don't you think you ought to provide some indication of who the original author was (even though it's probably obvious to pretty much everybody in either circle of the Venn diagram)?

Good point. I just got them in the email, I didn't know where they came from, thanks for informing me. I'm not familiar with the author, who is he?
MB informs it's Randall Munroe at xkcd.com.

"Blag" is what discerning readers say when they read my blog.

Thank you Michael.

XKCD is often brilliant and usually good though sometimes it falls a bit flat, at least in my opinion. Well worth following.

Yes, it seems to me that anything/anybody sufficiently off-beat and original is usually also quite uneven.
