Explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb.

Ambox notice.png This is a work in progress I have been working on a table listing all figures in the comic 1000: 1000 Comics after having added pictures like those on this page: 1000: 1000 Comics/Numbered images. I have now finished the first 646 characters, three legs into the 2nd zero, just missing the left part, but still nothing from the third zero. The table has been updated to include room for all 1000 characters, so it will be possible to easily continue with the explanation of each of the remaining figure. I'm not sure I will be able to continue with this work at the moment... So please feel free to improve. --Kynde (talk) 14:44, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
Ambox notice.png Update: I have completed the descriptions for characters 647-1000; however, for many of the characters, verification and/or alternate explanations might be necessary. I will continue to work on this page, but I think we've hit a big milestone in being able to remove the 'incomplete' tag! BlackHat (talk) 19:50, 25 October 2020 (UTC)


If you find any missing errors in the table please correct them or if it is a big operation please send a personal comment to me, maybe my original table can be mended easily? (well this is written before the table is even begun ;-) --Kynde (talk) 14:53, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

I thought it was pretty clear that 127 was supposed to be Cloud with his spiky hair and huge Buster Sword? 108.162.246.114 19:32, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Definitely agreed on 127 being Cloud. We know Randall is a Final Fantasy fan, and Cloud has a pretty iconic look that is well represented here. 108.162.216.10 18:50, 4 January 2017 (UTC)borntowander

As I'm not familiar with Final Fantasy then it is not because I did not think it was Cloud but because I did not know of him. This is why I wish other people help. And why I made this in the first place. :-) --Kynde (talk) 17:46, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

Wouldn't Occam's Razor suggest that a character with a gray hairbun is still Hairbun (though the person is evidently older)? Bitsofstring (talk) 20:35, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Is this page really necessary? It seems like a big project with not much meaning. RamenChef (talk) 14:51, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

It is necessary if you wish to be able to make references to the characters from this comic and references to other comics. So yes, since I felt this was interesting we need this page. And yes it was a very large project and I could not finish it my self, but seems others took up the mantle and did explain the rest after I quit. But making the picture with numbers and making the table was the key to making this project possible. --Kynde (talk) 17:46, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

Is there a reason that there isn't a column for pictures of each mini-comic? It is pretty inconvenient to have to switch between the section page and this page.108.162.238.95

Only that it would be an extremely large task to make those 1000 pictures. If you wish to do it feel free. --Kynde (talk) 17:46, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

Just a thought but if you wanted to be able to sort them such that "A Red Text" comes to the top, might I suggest "AAH! Red Text!" 108.162.237.208 21:37, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Not that important but thanks. --Kynde (talk) 17:46, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

Amazing that we can say rigorously that this comic is exactly 87.1% explained. Sure (talk) 00:31, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

I think #594 might be a reference to comic 852 about pole vaulting. 172.70.134.144 23:19, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
