Difference between revisions of "Category:Saturday comics"

Explanation

• 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.
    • The first four comics released on a Saturday are from before that time, and as of spring 2020 only one new Saturday comic has appeared.
  • One notable exception that can lead to off-set release dates are April Fools' Day comics.
    • This has not occurred on a Saturday yet as of 2021.
    • April 1st of 2017 and 2023 landed on Saturday, but there were no April Fools' Day comics those years.
    • The next Saturday April 1st will be in 2028.
  • In 2020, however, the April Fools' Day comic, 2288: Collector's Edition, was supposed to be released on Wednesday April 1st, but it was delayed two days.
    • This caused the planned Friday comic, 2289: Scenario 4, to be released a day later as the first Saturday comic since 2006.
• Finally there could be incidences where a comic possibly has been miscategorized.
  • 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 Saturday.
  • The dates can be found in the xkcd archive
