ok, I have to address the elephant in the room: is the bad image quality intentional (part of the joke) or not or what is going on here?

in case it gets fixed, here it is right now:

TIL that there is a 2x size version of many xkcd comics, which the explainxkcd bot seems to have downloaded and which looks a lot better: https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/File:superstition_2x.png / https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/superstition_2x.png

edit (c. 9 hours later, the morning after in my timezone): ok, it seems it has been fixed, so it was apparently not intentional
