Since Randall Munroe posted the first XKCD webcomic in September 2005, he’s taken themes like computer programming, technology, philosophy, math, science, pop culture, language, and romance and then tosses them into a blender and made some of the web’s sharpest, cleverest, and most poignant observations on and explanations of life, the universe, and everything. But as far as I can recall, he’s stayed pretty far away from politics until today, when he clearly stated that he’s in the Hillary Clinton camp and provided information that’s useful for voters of all stripes.
