[[WMG: The woman in "Shoot for the Moon" is the same woman from the three "Stargazing" strips]]

She certainly ''looks'' like her, but that doesn't prove anything in this strip. However, her unexplained adversarial relationship with a celestial body, and her somewhat surreal approach to the problem fit well with a character who yells at comets to go away. The fact she's addressing students also fits.

* White Hat Guy is generally used either as an extra character design or to make stupid arguments for Cueball to debunk. though oddly enough, in [[https://xkcd.com/603/ Idiocracy]], the roles are reversed.

[[WMG: The Sheeple are enemies of the Lizard People]]

The ConspiracyTheorist in [[https://xkcd.com/1013/ this page]] demands the "sheeple" to wake up, only to wake up the actual sheeple.

Now thing of something, what do conspiracy theorists believe control the world? The Lizard People. Therefore there rhetoric about awakening the sheeple has always been about the literal sheeple, because they are the only ones capable of freeing us.

* Demonstrably false. White Hat and Black Hat are shown together [[https://xkcd.com/1708/ here]], with White Hat and Beret together in [[https://xkcd.com/1772/ 1772]]. White Hat is a completely separate person from either.

[[WMG: XKCD means...]]
* Assigning the proper numeric values to X (24), K (11) , C (3) and D (4), and adding them together (24+11+3+4), the result is 42. 42 is famously [[WMG/TheUltimateQuestionOfLifeTheUniverseAndEverything the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything]] as given by the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
** Lots of exploring through the Other Wiki resulted in some weird translating letters into Hebrew equivalent: x -> א (aleph) -> 1; k -> כּ (kaf) -> 20; c -> ג (gimel) -> 3; d -> ד (dalet) -> 4; 1+20+3+4=28. To quote the Other Wiki "In Gematriya, the system of Hebrew Numerology, the number 28 corresponds to the word koakh, meaning 'power,' 'energy.'"
* [[XtremeKoolLetterz Xtremely Kool]] Comic [[BuffySpeak Doohickey]]
* [[TakeThat seX King of Cunnilingus Dreams]]
* From ''VideoGame/{{Stronghold}}'': Theres four cheats, which are used wit alt+x,k,c,d!
* Actually, if it was X+K+C+D, it would be 42, but since they're next to each other, it means you multiply them which equals 3,168, which is either CAFH (3, 1, 6, 8) or CPH (3, 16, 8).
** 3,168 is also the arithmetic sum of the words Lord Jesus Christ in Greek.
* Isn't it obvious? it means Cut, Insert HyperLink, Copy, Bookmark.
* The comic's "main cast," as much as a comic like this can have one, seems to consist of roughly four characters ([[AuthorAvatar Cueball]], [[OnlySaneWoman Megan]], [[MagnificentBastard Black Hat Guy]], and [[CloudCuckoolander Beret Guy]]). [[CaptainObvious And of course, there are four letters in "XKCD."]] Perhaps each letter represents a character?
** Xtraterrestrial/Xtrauniversal (Beret Guy), Kidnapper (Black Hat), Cueball, D???? (Megan, by process of elimination)

[[WMG: Beret Guy is an EldritchAbomination.]]

Aside from some AltText that says that he and his employees are immortal, there are things like the fact that money appears out of nowhere for his company, his ability to see things to the atomic level (or see the elements that make things up, at any rate), his claim that his company's building is haunted, the fact that he can grow infinitely-long wings and eat business cards, his ability to go five years without eating or drinking, how he can trap people in hypothetical scenarios, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking the way his beret stays on his head while he's hanging upside-down]]. Why is all this happening? Because he's an incomprehensible being from another dimension, childlike in innocence but with horrifying power. He's actually controlling the clouds with his cloud storage business. His mother really is some sort of great force that's pulling all the galaxies together. His promise to remember the orchid's bee has special meaning because he will live forever, even when the earth is scoured of life. When the person he's talking to sees into his imagination, it's actually his RealityWarper powers making it real. The only thing that's kept him from destroying reality as we know it is his wonder at the world and love for things both living and dead.

Not in the sense that girls (or boys) do not go to college to get more knowledge, but in the sense that, if we as a society actually ''allowed'' girls to pursue knowledge as freely as we allow boys to, that ''we'd be on our way to Jupiter already, goddamnit.'' Of course, depending on who you ask, we already do do that.

[[WMG: The Beret Existentialist is a Time Lord.]]
Like most xkcd characters, he has no name, but displays many personality traits similar to The Doctor such as moments of CloudCuckooLander -ness, and very philosophic tendencies. Also, recently, the ability to grow infinite wings. Given the style of his NiceHat, possibly a reincarnation of Jamie from Series/{{MythBusters}}.
* Alternatively The Beret Existentialist is an angel of some sort. This explains his infinite wings, general demeanor, being out of touch with reality, and his ability to [[TheFool find success with his "business models"]].
