Randall Munroe has an interesting superpower — things that he casually includes in his webcomic come true. Sometimes it’s out of his control, and just due to readers gettin’ creative. Sometimes Munroe nudges it along. Truly, I’m hard-pressed to think of any better use of the internet than to provide pictures of scantily-clad or naked people rocking out in the shower (one of whom does her own webcomic which has more than its share of xkcdesque moments). Well done, Munroe and wet rocking people!

• The fresh hiatus made necessary by life’s ass-kicking tendencies will not deter Owen Dunne from finishing the latest Beevniks storyline.
• And via Lore Sjöberg, news of 400 or so bad comics on the web:
  

  Two guys I did not know about until just today are each publishing 200 bad comics on some sort of Internet double dog dare sort of a thing, and I have to admit I’m enjoying them.

  Bad comics guy 1, bad comics guy 2, and the meme has spread to guy 3. This could get out of hand.
