Discussion
Rikthoff (talk) The date of issue of this comic may not be correct. Can anybody verify the issue date?
I saw "The Cure" on a friend's Facebook page under her favorite bands. That prompted me to look up the explanation for this comic to be sure. When I first read it, I thought the "real face" looked a bit...unappealing. Perhaps diseased. Now I see the caption means the opposite of what I thought!

Are there any other realistic drawings on xkcd? --Forrest (talk)13:20, 07 May 2015 (UTC)
- No, I don't think so. I've seen them all and I'm pretty sure that nothing of the style of the early comics came back. Fabian42 (talk) 11:42, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
Every time I hear this song, I think "Dude, what are you on? You're part of Coldplay!"108.162.237.37 15:10, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
