This bot is doing the proper uploads here when a new comic appears on xkcd. The Perl script can be found here: GitHub.

Any ideas for enhancements to this bot are welcome and should go here: User talk:DgbrtBOT.

...please be patient or follow these instructions in the written order:

Add the proper entry here: List of all comics
Click the red link for the picture and do the upload.
Click the create link at the "List of all comics" for the comic page and use that template. Don't forget the incomplete tags for the explain and transcript sections.
Create the redirects for the comic number and comic name (like 1864 and City Nicknames - The content is just

#REDIRECT [[1864: City Nicknames]]).

Edit the Template:LATESTCOMIC. Increase the number but DO NOT change anything else or the bot will fail on the next comic.
Create the talk page and add this text:
