I just wanted to add that the [http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=74111 forum post about this comic] notes that this comic was accidentally posted by the site admins for xkcd, then later replaced with the current version of the comic, i.e. [[940: Oversight]]. The direct image URL for this comic now points to [https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/five_minute_comics_part_4.png this image]. Thus, the comic was not published through the unofficial xkcd app or anything like that; the more likely scenario is that the app downloaded the comic when it became available and cached it, so when the comic was replaced with [[940: Oversight]], the app did not update it. 03:58, 7 January 2016 (UTC) | I just wanted to add that the [http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=74111 forum post about this comic] notes that this comic was accidentally posted by the site admins for xkcd, then later replaced with the current version of the comic, i.e. [[940: Oversight]].

How is this unpublished? Although only through an app, this comic has still been issued for distribution to the public, therefore, by definition, published. Forrest (talk)14:41, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
