		+	I have added this comic to the [[:Category:Extra comics]], and made links to it from the two comics released around its release. Also I have moved the page so this page name does not refer to 2185. I have also updated the explanation to past. since it is no longer an xkcd comic, but only an archived memory. And updated the explanation where references to guessing about what happened after Monday release was not yet corrected to facts. --[[User:Kynde\|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde\|talk]]) 12:56, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

 :Nothing strange about this. It is not unusual for Randall to post a comic later in the day. And for this day he may even have reason to do so. Anyway this is a advertisement stunt, and by breaking the different viewers he has gotten more focus on his page than usual. Maybe this comic will just stay until Wednesday and not disappear at all. I would not be surprised. Also removing it will probably make trouble for Randall's own page now... But interesting if it disappears when the next comic arrives. Until it does, he has promised this comic would stay, so it being here on Monday is not against his promise that it should go away... --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 15:16, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
