Where tf does the xkcd author get all these comic ideas from. Like jfc, I haven’t had a single good thought in the past 10 years and counting.

He’s super smart. I’ve always thought that an idea he has for a comic starts as part of a funny and/or interesting conversation he was having with friends or colleagues. Then later he remembers some of them and makes comics out of them.

That’s how I imagine it, anyway.

uh huh… and what about the second and third dimensions

Would it still work with Free Serif or Liberation Serif etc, or is this part of an evil plot to get spaceship-owning Linux users lost in space?

It works with Liberation Serif

Btw, I also really like how you misspelled “typo” in the title

And it’s probably actually a typi since the letters are next to each other on qwerty.

Not that I should have doubted Munroe but that’s incredible.

Apparently it’s actually very accurate

If the planets remained in conjunction as they went around the Sun, yes. The planets don't wander as though they're attached to the spoke of a wheel though... and as I click through the explainxkcd link, it seems that someone else has pointed that out, albeit in other words.
