An online comic strip
catered towards geeks/math majors/etc. Makes the fatal flaw of assuming that because it has
a niche audience, it will automatically be funny. On the contrary, it is rarely amusing, and is only popular due to said
audience's lack of recognition in most mediums.
Example:
"The
vector of c is 5."
"
Hahah! I think that that comci, xkcd, is funny because I automatically
approve of anything nerdy. I also love the dick."
