Main article: April Fools' Day comics

The xkcd April Fools' Day comics are special releases that commemorate April Fools' Day, often using experimental formats and interactive features. They have been posted almost yearly since 2007, starting with the unnumbered comic Syndication. The most recent April Fools' Day comics are often interactive and engage readers through collaborative editing, voting systems, or games. Several comics have been significantly delayed, sometimes by weeks, due to their complex features, with the most delayed being 2765: Escape Speed in 2023, which arrived 18 days late. However, with the exception of 2009 and 2017, an April Fools' Day comic has been released every year since 2007.The comics on this category are displayed in the order they came out and don't necessarily follow the standard xkcd numbering system.
