Before Randall acquired the xkcd website, he started by posting comics to LiveJournal at https://xkcd-drawings.livejournal.com. For a short period following the new site's launch (comics 45–55), new comics were posted more or less simultaneously both there and on LiveJournal; this practice ceased after 55: Useless, with all subsequent comics having been posted solely on xkcd.com.

This category contains all 52 comics posted to LiveJournal: comics 1–55, excluding 5, 12 and 36. They are listed in the order the comics came out on LiveJournal, which differs significantly from their canonical numbering (for more information, see LiveJournal).
