xkcd fans are the only fandom I've had direct experience with where people do the stereotypical nerdy fan thing of referring to installments of the thing they like by their release order numbers instead of their titles
like I've never heard anyone just say "the simpsons season 7 episode 21" without also saying the episode title but I have heard people say "xkcd 2501" without also saying the title of the xkcd
Yeah, we shouldn't expect everyone to know every comic by heart. The average internet user probably only knows 1053 and 936.
and 2501, of course.
Of course!
sigh
hold on
xkcd 1053:
xkcd 936:
and of course, xkcd 2501:
