<br />
This is an April 1st comic. It is a large image, of which only part is visible, but it can be dragged around. The large image contains a collection of items, sometimes humorous, often repeating. Items keep appearing in real time. Different viewers can place these items on the page by first collecting them from other comics.<br />
<br />
There is a "backpack" at the bottom, similar to "backpacks" in video games containing items collected by the player. Items can be found by visiting different XKCD comics/pages. Randomly, some pages will have a treasure chest which will contain the sticker related to the page. It is believed that the hint represents what page currently has a chest.<br />
<br />
The sticker images can be seen at `https://xkcd.com/2288/collectors/static/loot/loot_XXX.png`, where XXX is a number from 001-253.<br />
<br />
===Hints===<br />
<br />
"Doctors in a row", "Get out the (US) vote", "Find a box of nice stuff on a picture with words like these", "Sweet dreams, kitty", "What is this hint pointing to? Hell if I know.", "Somebody set up us the bomb", "Cowabunga", "Take a ride in a barrel", "I want to believe", "Bleeped", "why waste time say few word when lot word do trick", "Cooler than electric scooters", "Take it from the top", "I accept the yucca gnocchi, this meal is a success!", "Catch up on the news", "Participation trophy", "Find an opportunity for a sojourn", "Tastier than tau day"<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* This comic is the 2020 April Fools comic, and was supposed to be released April 1st. However, the below message was displayed on the top of the page until early Friday (April 3rd) morning, when the comic finally went live. It remains to be seen if Friday's intended comic will be published later.<br />
<blockquote><br />
Note: For technical reasons Wednesday's comic will be posted Thursday instead. Apologies for the delay!<br />
