'''Barrel Boy''' is a [[stick figure]] character in [[xkcd]]. He only appears in the [[Category:The Boy and his Barrel|The Boy and his Barrel series]], an early six-comic story whose parts were randomly published during the first several dozen strips. Barrel Boy is very different from what would quickly become the xkcd [[stick figure]] style, since he has a face and a human-like body.
  
At some point, [[Randall]] created a page with a collection of all the Barrel comics (as well as the first comic with the flying ferret: [[20: Ferret]], which is in this way also became a part of the Barrel series). This page can still be seen on a web archive: [https://liveweb.archive.org/web/20070207052159/http://www.xkcd.com/barrel.html The Boy and his Barrel].
