The comic [[39: Bowl]] came out on December 5th, 2005 as the last comic to be released before the xkcd website was also used. The day after that comic came out Randall came with this announcement on LiveJournal:

The xkcd web site opened up on the 1st of January 2006. All comics posted before that on LiveJournal was added to xkcd on this day, but in a different order.

For some reason [[54: Science]] was released a week earlier on LiveJournal than on xkcd, switching release date with [[51: Malaria]]. The three comics coming after this on LiveJournal (that is from [[51: Malaria]] to the second last [[53: Hobby]]) had their release dates shifted one comic-release-day ahead, compared to the xkcd release date. [[54: Science]] was finally released, just before the final LiveJournal comic was released, which meant that the last comic on LiveJournal was released the same day on both sites.

Revision as of 03:33, 6 July 2021

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).
