Hairy is a stick figure character in xkcd. The name is unofficial, used on this wiki to describe male characters with hair and no other distinguishing features.
Appearences[edit]
Hairy is not a single character, but a categorization of various one-time characters. One Hairy, a learning pickup artist, has appeared in two comics (1027: Pickup Artist and 1178: Pickup Artists).
When Hairy appears with Cueball or Black Hat, he generally comes off as worse (as in 1210: I'm So Random, or as a pickup artist). Hairy can also appear just to add some variation in a group (1261: Shake That), or as a kid (973: MTV Generation, 1176: Those Not Present).
There is a very early comic (16: Monty Python -- Enough) where a hairy guy delivers the joke. There is no reason to believe this is the same Hairy that Randall invented later.
Name[edit]
Hairy's real name may be "Mike" as that name is used by Cueball in 2232: Hotel Room Party when addressing a group that included him. And possibly directly in 2718: New Year's Eve 2023, although Cueball may still be mistaken in that instance after previously identifying the Hairy-like person as the distinctly non-Hairy-like Rob. One possible version of Hairy was named "Greg" in 3302: Voyager Instruments.
