My biggest gripe with XKCD is people talking about how there is a 'relevant XKCD' for *everything*. It's just as topical as any other internet comic. I don't get it.

I agree on both parts... but I do find Monroe's "What If" segment less eye-rolling and more of a lazyman's Mythbusters. A good review of XKCD is from El Santo here[1] who pretty much nails the troubles of teh strip.

Also I think the blog you were talking about was XKCD Sucks. Some of the people who did that project tried to do a larger thing to snark on webcomics in general but it didn't pan out. I'm of the opinion that webcomics need supporters before they need legions of people mocking them.
