Thank you! I’m not sure if this would rank xkcd: volume 0 on the New York Times bestseller list, but we’re certainly pleased with your response to the book. Our events in New York, San Francisco, and Silicon Valley were all packed with eager xkcd fans and we hope you had as much fun at them as we did. Photos to come.

We’re still getting final numbers on how much money we’ve raised for Room to Read to build our xkcd school is Laos; in the meantime, here’s a photo of the first signing Randall ever did for a robot.

Thanks again for hosting us, Anybots!
