Damn, never seen an xkcd where they used that kind of language! 😳
It‘s not original. The joke originated in xkcd 821 (Five Minute Comics Pt. 3), however it was a little different still. The wording (besides the slur) stems from xkcd creator Randall Munroe‘s book What if?.
If you compare the image to actual xkcds, you’ll notice, that the font is different.
Also, I found a picture of the comic from the book on pinterest.
Can’t have people think xkcds could be this tasteless.
Weird, why would someone rewrite a joke to land on the same punchline
I mean, the first rewrite (by Munroe himself) was probably just turning a 5min doodle into a clean, more streamlined comic.
The n-word one probably just to be edgy.
Edgy = racist but a coward about it
As most racists are when confronted
Ahhh thanks for the clarification! I should have known ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I can't remember the # of the original, but I'm certain that's not what it said. Randall wouldn't use that, and that's not his font.
It seems to be from his "What If" book and it wasn't "nigga" but "dude"
Confirmed. The one 'reference' book I have on my desk. Page 3. The font and line layout is completely changed. The last sentence reads: "and the wolf was like, "dude.""
It looks like a generic XKCD
