I added a basic explanation. 162.158.212.224 02:28, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Giant comic

Is it meant to be that size? Does the bad luck apply to trying to upload comics at reasonable sizes?

Oooh boy, indeed... "Error creating thumbnail: File with dimensions greater than 12.5 MP" is the Wiki's assessment of the auto-uploaded image. I haven't checked the resolution, but the https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/hammer_incident.png one is apparently 4332x4838 (scales to 8% on my device), and I don't care to test the _2x version right now. I'm not sure that was the native res of it on creation, looks to be an accidental up-scaling prior to posting to xkcd itself. 141.101.98.6 02:20, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
The _2x version is actually the proper size for a normal comic - 578x645 pixels. Noëlle (talk) 02:21, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
Still seems larger than normal to me, even the 2x seems larger than I would expect. 172.69.34.78 04:02, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
Maybe the extra-large image is what the original looks like using the James Webb telescope? Maybe over-thinking. 172.68.132.145 04:19, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
