did you just say XKCD? If that's the same xkcd I'm thinking of.. I met him. He came to work... to discuss business and t-shirts and what not... and we set them up with the t-shirts...
but I never really took the time to look at his work much... and now... I have to double check!
Redwall books hold a special place in my heart, such to the point that reading the associated forum thread for this comic, and all it's "Oh man I remember those!" makes me uncomfortable, because it's also filled with criticisms and discussions of how much the books really sucked when they went back and looked at them. I don't want to hear criticism of something I loved so dearly. (My paperbacks of Salamandastron and Outcast of Redwall fell in half, I've read and re-read them so many times.)
...Although it's not as if I didn't notice some of the criticisms and oddities as I aged. I just didn't care, and I wanted more.
(When I was younger, I made a solemn vow to read every Redwall book that ever comes out. And I phrased it such, with the words 'solemn vow.' I'm behind on it, but...I'll catch up and read the ones I've missed someday. Even if they won't be as good as the older ones.)

I was obsessed with Redwall for so long. This is awesome.
