Category:Tuesday comics

Explanation[edit]

• Note that xkcd usually only posts a new comic Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
  • However, for several reasons comics have been posted on all week days
  • In the early days of the comic it happened frequently, but it has become very rare since LiveJournal closed.
    • Actually the last of these came the week after this, when 57: Wait For Me was pushed in, to make space for the three comics in the series Opening dialogue by Scott, since the Monday comic had already been released.
  • One notable exception that can lead to off-set release dates is April Fools day.
    • This happened first time on a Tuesday with 1350: Lorenz, apart from the 404: Not Found meta comic.
  • Other events (like a tribute, which has not yet happened on a Tuesday) can also result in Tuesday comics.
    • This happened first with 1551: Pluto released in honor of the New Horizons deep space probe making its flyby at Pluto.
    • Since then it has also occurred with 1608: Hoverboard made to celebrate the release of Randall's new book, Thing Explainer.
    • It happened again when How to was released on Tuesday with 2198: Throw.
    • And again with another book release for What if? 2. The comic 2672: What If? 2 Flowchart was released on the Tuesday the book was released.
  • The other weekdays are typically used in comic series which sometime extend for five days in one week.
    • Tuesdays comic will then be part 2, as can be seen several times.
    • It is not all of the series that are mentioned with a part number, as can be seen for Parody and Guest Week.
  • The above mentioned exceptions explains all Tuesday comics from 57 and on, except for 2717: L6 Lagrange Point and 2986: Every Scientific Field.
    • These could simply be Randall that was too late with the release to call it a Monday comic. But in some cases the date in the archive would be set to the intended release day, even if it was released past midnight (maybe even in all time zones.) But that is not the case with the two unexplained Tuesday release mentioned here.
• There could be incidences where a comic possibly has been mis-categorized.
  • The date given should be when posted on xkcd, not here.
  • Please check up on this and explain here and at the comic why it has been released on a Tuesday.
  • The dates can be found in the xkcd archive
