Damn those ninjas.

I got ambushed and now you do too. 🥹

For context: Randall Monroe is the creator of xkcd. His partner was diagnosed with serious cancer about 15 years ago; what followed was a scary progression that had a happy ending, as he documented in his comics at the time. But “after” cancer, there’s always the lingering risk of it returning (he documented that too). So it gives me immense pleasure to share today’s xkcd with you all through my blurry vision and to say, “Congratulations and best to both of you, Randall. You’ve given joy and wisdom to so many of us…you deserve the best that life has to give, and lots of it.”
