xkcd, sometimes styled XKCD, is a webcomic created in 2005 by American author Randall Munroe. The comic's tagline describes it as "a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language". Munroe states on the comic's website that the name of the comic is not an initialism but "just a word with no phonetic pronunciation".

Webcomics are comics published on the internet, such as on a website or a mobile app. While many webcomics are published exclusively online, others are also published in magazines, newspapers, or comic books.
The themes of webcomics like Eric Millikin's have caused controversy.
Opráski sčeskí historje [cs] (lit. "The Pictures of the Czech History", though misspelled) is among the most popular Czech webcomics.
