Wow, a new low for Randall. [[Special:Contributions/198.41.238.70|198.41.238.70]] 10:44, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

::Yes it has been way too long since he last made one of these :D See for instance [[136: Science Fair]], and of course alle these categories: [[:Category:Penis|Penis]], [[:Category:Fleshlights|Fleshlights]] and generally just [[:Category:Sex|Sex]].--[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 13:21, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
:So you're saying... Randall went down on this one? [[Special:Contributions/162.158.154.121|162.158.154.121]] 02:59, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Wonder if Friday's comic (or maybe already a tomorrow Thursday release) will be about the as of today late {{w|Stephen Hawking}}? I hope so considering Randall's earlier [[:Category:Tribute|Tributes]]. Just got a Facebook reminder yesterday that it was three years ago the he posted this comic (and I posted it on Facebook): [[1498: Terry Pratchett]]. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 14:24, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
:I thought Wednesday's comic would be the tribute... Wonder what Friday's comic will be like. [[User:Herobrine|Herobrine]] ([[User talk:Herobrine|talk]]) 12:31, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
::He {{w|Stephen_Hawking#Death|died early Wednesday morning in the UK}}, so he would have had to be quick about it. I think he has a script that automatically post a comic, if he doesn't stop it. I'm in UK+1 time zone (Europe) and [http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=1967:_Violin_Plots&action=history here] I can see that the comic was released no later than 05:25, 14 March 2018‎, so that is probably before Stephen died... Or at least while Randall was sleeping and had not heard of his death... Still waiting to see... --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 13:57, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

Is it a coincidence that the Pi day comic refers to Pie Charts? Probably [[User:Kev|Kev]] ([[User talk:Kev|talk]]) 14:32, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
:Maybe, but Randall is acutely aware of anything Pi... Just saw that a video on this topic: [[1292: Pi vs. Tau]] was released yesterday on pi-day and that it referred to the Pi vs. Tau comic with an image of it: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcPTiiiYDs8 How pi was almost 6.283185...] --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 14:00, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

I agree with the interpretation of the title text.  However, I wonder if we should point out this is not in fact true about violin plots and is just a pun in the comic. What does everyone else think?

The "incomplete" tag mentions that there isn't anything on Wikipedia called a "line plot". However, line plots do in fact exist. However, they don't seem to have any correspondence to the type of chart on display. https://www.mathplanet.com/education/algebra-2/equations-and-inequalities/line-plots-and-stem-and-leaf-plots [[Special:Contributions/162.158.142.70|162.158.142.70]] 18:29, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
:I have now removed the incomplete "incomplete tag" Seems like a finished explanation to me. It is definitely nothing to do with line as there are not lines between the points. --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 07:44, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Sex and violins! (I was strongly tempted to shop one of these plots on a porn pic,
doubting the suggestivity. I'm against genital beauty operations, but with a viola
like this, you should consider it...) [[Special:Contributions/172.68.110.10|172.68.110.10]] 13:43, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
