Earlier quoted context omitted.

There are 4 edges :) Under the tunnels there is a whole new world ;)

4 edges o.0 You mean to say that under the tunnels, that is under all of the black, there is more? And there is more stuff in the air too? Ima kill Randall Munroe >_<

the "total image" is 165888 by 79872, fwiw.

http://edc.srvs.us/1110/ seems to have a pretty complete tiling

The mind boggles. How long must it have taken him to create this. It is HUGE. I have been scrolling round for about 20 minutes and still have not found an end to it.

from: http://imgs.xkcd.com/clickdrag/1110.js var size=[14,48,25,33]; var tilesize=2048; var map_size=[(size[1]+size[3])*tilesize,(size[0]+size[2])*tilesize]; So 165888x79872!!!

On my display it's 350 metres long...

Here's a torrent of all the images: https://ubuntuone.com/4VxOo5cnInZWQUEplIdb2c

I was having trouble downloading the torrent, so I wrote a little script to get it for me: https://gist.github.com/3748257 Warning: 6mb worth of files. Edit: Github repo with all the images and the script, so that people don't need to hammer the xkcd server: https://github.com/danielribeiro/xkcd_grab

And here is how you get a web page you can open to view the whole thing in a one sitting:

  perl -e'print "img{width:2048px;height:2048px}
"; print /X$/ ? "\n" : "" for @ARGV' {{13..1}n,{1..19}s}{{33..1}w,{1..48}e,X} > index.html


Warning: gigantic page, may crash your browser. (Not as bad as it might seem, since many tiles are missing.)

Don't use any of the spoilers, image maps or sites that stich it together, it is much more enjoyable when you discover the entire image through the viewport dimensions as originally intended.

It is also much more enjoyable when you don't know what to expect

Bwahaha, upper left corner (waaaay up). I'm working at a small startup. Our business model is "taking free drinks from industry events and reselling them". Edit: Holy shit I had no idea how huge this was! I'd pay for a massive framed poster of this thing.

Nice catch. Direct link to the tile: http://imgs.xkcd.com/clickdrag/2n2w.png

A map: http://imgur.com/GDJPL

the white square at 11n11e is not at the good position on this map. I wonder why 11n11e and 11s11e are empty.

All of the 11x11y squares are empty, the south ones are just black instead of white. I've not worked out why yet.
