I'm loving this.

 

[WarMacheen]

I went all the way to the right and it stopped here

 

[Woorloog]

Very nice, very amazing.

I can't be the only one who used to do exactly this kind of stuff in the margins of my homework, can I? Hell, I kept doing it into adult hood. I used to have a photo I took of several of these laid out on the floor, it was like 10 feet long.

 

[Ultratech]

Holy crap, it's so BIG.

Also, I lol'd at this:

That is awesome. My margins were dedicated to much more...abstract art.

Spoiler

Read: shitty scribbles.

 

[jtb]

a fucking pain in the ass to scroll all the way through with a trackpad, but wow. That was awesome.

 

[Chuckl3s]

This is fuckin' awesome!

 

[ColossalLazy]

That was pretty cool.

This would be really cool as a Knytt Stories level or something.

 

[zephervack]

Cant wait for a Zoomable version.

 

[gblues]

I was half-expecting a LIMBO reference in there somewhere (maybe the tire swing?).

Much easier on the fingers.

I did that sort of stuff too. Random drawings of buildings, characters and creatures in the margins, or around and through the work once the teacher had finished marking it. If it was a particularly boring lesson, or a subbed lesson where we had to be quiet I'd devote a whole page to it and make it a big scene, with different things going on. Wish I still had some of them

 

[Zeppu]

This is fuckin' awesome!

 

[feel]

Such a lovely adventure, made me smile so many times, 20 minutes well wasted. I didn't notice any Limbo references, I was expecting for the huge spider to pop up somewhere.

I found this on the xkcd forums

http://www.mrphlip.com/xkcd1110/

Nice! I'm seeing that I explored the entire thing and seems like I only missed the flying stuff.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

This. Is. Awesome.

Makes it much easier to explore, thanks!

 

[oatmeal]

I found a really small shot of the whole map:

 

[Battersea Power Station]

too much clicking and dragging and not really funny. for my tastes anyway.

Haha, I get it.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Is that a flying Jellyfish Lovecraftian Horror!?

Here's the interactive map I promised earlier. At time of posting it's still uploading so you won't be able to see all the details just yet.

If you have IE9/IE10 I'd recommend using them over Chrome or Firefox to view this because the hardware acceleration makes a huge difference. It's really amazing.

 

[The Technomancer]

Is it weird that I find some parts of this beautiful?

 

[FelixOrion]

It's like exploring a new minecraft world for the first time

 

[jet1911]

Wish there was a printable high res version.

No problem with chrome, it went fine. Excellent upload by the way, the scroll to zoom is perfect!


Could this be a reference to the HGTTG? :

 

[Conciliator]

I'll be not nearly the first to say:

1. This is awesome and impressive.
2. I usually hate XKCD.
2a. The top panels are indicative of some of the things I hate about XKCD.

 

[Vinci]

As much as I normally love XKCD, this just... WOW.

 

[Ferrio]

Cant wait for a Zoomable version.

Almost definitely.

xkcd has tentatively been my favorite web comic for a long time, but this one cements it.

 

[out0v0rder]

this is a good idea

 

[TheOMan]

Link to a Google Maps version (just saw this on /.) : xkcd map

 

[feel]

I feel the same. Some gorgeous areas.

 

[the_log_ride]

Damn, my OCD compels me to find the edges of this. Had two windows open going in both directions.

I did this too. When I was a kid I used one of those rolls of adding machine/receipt paper and drew a city full of stick people across at least two thirds of the length of it. I think it's still at my parents' house somewhere.

This will provide many good desktop backgrounds.

Yours is by far the best, the google maps version sucks.

Thank you for your work.

 

[DrForester]

Another nice zoomable version.

[Gentleman Jack]

I dragged down like an idiot and there was nothing there

Ohhh there's stuff down there all right, you just have to find the entrance.

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

I too was expecting a Limbo reference... the whole thing gave me those vibes.

 

[Good Job Bob]

 

[wenis]

I liked this frame

 

[MuddyDonut]

better exploration than most modern video games

 

[makingmusic476]

I just spent far too much time on this.

I want to spend more.

I want it printed and hung on my wall.
