Sierpinski Valentine |
Title text: Especially you mouseover text readers. You're the best. <3 |
Explanation
A Valentine's Day card from Randall to the xkcd readers. It is written inside a parody of the Sierpinski Triangle, a Sierpinski Valentine.
The Sierpinski Triangle is a fractal pattern made of triangles, covering a space. The way it works is to draw a triangle and draw another (upside down) one in the middle. Choose the upper, left and right triangle and repeat the process.
The <3 in the title text is an emoticon for a heart and goes out to those of his readers that read the title text. This is one of the only actually positive versions of a Valentine comic from Randall.
Another relevant comic is 95: The Sierpinski Penis Game.
