The first-ever XKCD book, “xkcd: volume 0” is now officially out and available. Part of the profits go build schools in Laos. XKCD is my favorite geeky webcomic of all time, and Randall Munroe, its creator, is a swell guy. I’m very glad about this indeed.
It’s been fun putting it all together. It was neat to go back through various huge stacks of old drawings, some on the back of school assignments, and scan them at print resolution. I also had fun with the marginal notes. I’m really excited to finally have it in print, and I’m looking forward to seeing people and signing copies at the release events this weekend. I’m also excited about getting back to work on some other projects which have been on hold for a bit, at least one of which will involve lakes and a recently-acquired Arduino.
