Xkcd/Heartwarming
< Xkcd
- On the week of November 8th, 2010, XKCD's creator put out a comic saying that he would not be drawing new comics for a little while because of family illness. In the Alt-Text, however, he asked for people to send him distracting online games. The result? 2700 by noon of the same day.
- He revealed exactly what the family illness is in July 2011: his fiancee has Stage III breast cancer. In that blog post, he thanked all the people who sent him flash games.
- This strip may not seem too special, but then you read the Alt-Text...
- Maybe wanting something does make it real.
- He'll even get you a extension cord.
- "Diet Coke+Mentos" is quite nice.
- Just remember that if you want to do this stuff, you're not alone.
- This Xkcd strip, as well as being a Crowning Moment of Awesome.
- This one; rather heartwarming in a psychopathic sort of way.
- This is pretty heartwarming as well. That's real devotion right there.
- This one too, which showcases just how much two people can be meant for each other.
- This may be the most uplifting and inspiring thing this troper has ever seen on the Internet.
- One more case
- Everyone wishes that some moments could last forever. This girl is doing something about it.
- *sniff* Dammit, mom...
- Maybe it's his inner nerd, but this troper just finds this strip to be incredibly sweet.
- This one too. "Give."
- "Because we're grown-ups now, and it's our turn to decide what that means."
- http://xkcd.com/791/ This one is good.

- The week they decide to do parodies of other famous web comics. They then get around to Megatokyo. By frame two, they call the whole thing off, believing people (especially creator Fred Gallagher) would find it mean spirited and in bad taste. They decide to bake him a cake instead.
- It seems more like they're mocking him for being easily offended. The Penny Arcade parody a little later on, however...
- ... Is an extended gay joke, so Your Mileage May Vary even in Heartwarming.
- It seems more like they're mocking him for being easily offended. The Penny Arcade parody a little later on, however...
- "Like a beacon"
- "i love you"
- This. "There's still time to leave and find a non-crazy girl." "Not even slightly interested."
- 828's message is quite uplifting.
- This one in a really strange way.
- I've looked at clouds from both sides now.
- Apparently, yes!
- Legos can become anything.
- We are just two people...
- The alt-text of the Journal strip, from a certain point of view. In a weird way, it could even be a bizarre Friendship Moment.

Black Hat Guy: And the journal is filled with all the things I'd say to her if I were nice like you. I burn it when it's full. |

- The most exciting new frontier is charting what's already here.
- Especially if you read the ALT text.
- I want to give you everything, just to see what you would do with it.
- Randall finally married!
- 1000 comics... wow... and remember, Randall, you are never alone.
- This until the Mood Whiplash at the very end.
- You're one of today's lucky 10,000.
