Main Page

Welcome to the SMBC Wiki!
This site was modeled after explainxkcd.com and requires a lot of work, such as adding transcripts and explanations, documenting recurring characters, and making the site look less like xkcd.

Pages up to the latest comic have been created, but almost all of them still need proper transcripts and explanations. For comics without manually created transcripts, a bot has been run to generate transcripts automatically using AWS's Textract. These transcriptions have a lot of errors, but they are somewhat sufficient for searching for comics by text.

To make it easier to coordinate development of the site in case anybody would like to help, there is a Discord server at https://discord.gg/ARxyyTEzr7.

[Describe panel here]

Dear god, why am I so unhappy right now?

Like now. The current moment.

Wait, wait, you're living your days in series, not in parallel.?

What do you mean "right now"?

Holy shit, so you're just there, being 24 and single with a job you hate, and you have no simultaneous experience of a future with more respect or a past with more joy?!

You must feel bonkers!

Uh

Wait, holy shit you're going to have whole years when you're old when all your friends are dying, man! Are you insane?! Spread things out a little.

You're going to do all your child-rearing years... consecutively?! Ahahahahahahahahahaha!

In retrospect it was a mistake to pray for empathy to an all-powerful immortal.
