xkcd is a long-running webcomic created by former NASA roboticist Randall Munroe, debuting in 2005. Characterized by its minimalist stick-figure drawings and deep focus on mathematics, science, and linguistics, it has become a staple of internet culture. The comic's most famous meme contribution is the 'Duty Calls' panel, which features a character staying up late because 'someone is wrong on the internet.' Beyond simple humor, xkcd is celebrated for its ability to explain complex topics through logical extremes and relatable social awkwardness. Today, the template is used to satirize everything from programming struggles to the absurdity of online arguments.
