The xkcd web site opened up on the 1st of January 2006. All comics posted before that on LiveJournal was added to xkcd on this day, but in a different order. The next 11 post on LiveJournal from [[45: Schrodinger]] to the last [[55: Useless]] were posted (almost) simultaneous both on LiveJournal and on xkcd.

For some reason [[54: Science]] was released a week earlier on LiveJournal than on xkcd, switching release date with [[51: Malaria]]. The three comics coming after this on LiveJournal (that is from [[51: Malaria]] to the second last [[53: Hobby]]) had their release dates shifted one comic-release-day ahead, compared to the xkcd release date. [[54: Science]] was finally released, just before the final LiveJournal comic was released, which meant that the last comic on LiveJournal was released the same day on both sites.
