- Not to be confused with Comic series.
These comics have identical or similar names, varying by a few characters. Sometimes, this is because they are part of a comic series, where often the only difference is the episode number of the comic. A few comics share the exact same name without being part of a series, such as:
- 786: Exoplanets and 1071: Exoplanets. Both images were originally named
exoplanets.png. When the latter was published, this broke the former on xkcd.com, so it was renamedexoplanets_2010.png. - 60: Super Bowl and 1480: Super Bowl. No images broke because the first one is a JPG file and the second one is a PNG file.
- 827: Business Idea and 1721: Business Idea. When the second comic was released, the image file and the comic title were the same and there was a conflict both on xkcd.com and on this site. Randall renamed the first comic 827: My Business Idea and the comic image
my_business_idea.png.
There are also other pairs of comics where the only difference is that one of the titles is plural:
- 235: Kite and 1614: Kites,
- 441: Babies and 1650: Baby.
- 518: Flow Charts, 1195: Flowchart, and 1488: Flowcharts.
- 561: Well and 3004: Wells.
- 716: Time Machine and 1203: Time Machines.
- 1027: Pickup Artist and 1178: Pickup Artists.
- 1256: Questions and 1448: Question.
- 1373: Screenshot and 1863: Screenshots.
- 1490: Atoms and 3050: Atom.
