Talk:130: Julia Stiles

I can't beleive it took over 16 years for this factoid about Stiles to be included on her Wikipedia page. IIVQ (talk) 23:14, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

Is there a category for actual recognisable people on explainxkcd.com, as said in the Trivia section? 42.book.addict (talk) 23:13, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Category:Real people, do you mean? 162.158.74.69 00:22, 3 February 2024 (UTC) (PS, Welcome. You're a very busy newcomer (at least via a username), catching up on everywhere you can. I hope you enjoy your time here, I'm sure you've got a useful contributions in you!)

Category:Real people includes all comics that depict real people, but in most cases they are drawn as stick figures with blank faces in the usual XKCD style. The depiction of Julia Stiles here is done in a more realistic style. --208.59.176.206 04:02, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

A number of "real people stick figures" are (at least somewhat, once the reader has the context, like the Firefly/Serenity actors) actually recognisable by facial features (even if still no-eyes/nose/mouth, far from 'blank'). Ditto "fictional people stick figures" (e.g. Darth Vader?).

Perhaps what was being asked here (though it looks ambiguous, 42 should probably clarify) is more something that would be encompassed under some "non-stick figure" ("non-stickfigure"? "figure, non-sticklike"?) ukbrella category, with the very few examples that start from Barrel Boy and head onwards towards this sort of 'quality'/style. But it's already a small group of comics. Far smaller if you exclude 'fictional' BB (and presumably you'd not additionally include the ferret), so I'm not sure there's enough examples having similar "Julia"-styles to warrant non-fictional-non-stick specificity. But I'm sure someone with a bit of time could list them all, for us, if there are. 82.132.244.183 08:15, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
