On my first 'big' job I printed 927 and posted it on a random blank wall. Recently I visited the office again, even though I haven't worked there for ~2y. Wall is still blank, except for that comic. It brought me joy to know people still see it from time to time.

#18I love xkcd. Most of them resonate with me.
However, for some reason #1053 (number three on this list) does not feel right.
