It's insane how close that handwriting is to randall's, did he make multiple versions of this comic or was this written by a professional forger?
For context, here's the original comic:
Their format and style makes them highly meme-able.
Holy shit. I remembered the original comic, but didn't remember what the subject matter of it was. So if you hadn't left this comment, I would have just gone on believing that the OP's version was Randall's version.
Yeah, I've seen people riff on xkcd comics before but they usually do a bad job of matching the handwriting/font (I don't know if Randall hand-letters these or if he types in a handwritey font). It's often a deliberately bad job, because indicating that they are changing the original is a part of the message/artistic expression. Like when a word is covered with a black bar with white letters in it in a different font, an obvious revision, it's like hearing a different voice interrupt.
