How is this unpublished? Although only through an app, this comic has still been issued for distribution to the public, therefore, by definition, published. Forrest (talk)14:41, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
I just wanted to add that the forum post about this comic notes that this comic was accidentally posted by the site admins for xkcd, then later replaced with the current version of the comic, i.e. 940: Oversight. The direct image URL for this comic now points to this image. Thus, the comic was not published through the unofficial xkcd app or anything like that; the more likely scenario is that the app downloaded the comic when it became available and cached it, so when the comic was replaced with 940: Oversight, the app did not update it. 03:58, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
