Every single one of these X-Years updates just wrecks me. Here’s to many more!
So happy for you, Randall! Enjoy every day, event he bad ones.
Surprise wife hug attack. She won’t see it coming.
I remember the first one. I cried. I cry at every one of these.
I still remember the first one
Glad to hear everything is fine
Shit, right in the feels. This is nice to read.
I’m not crying, you’re crying! Shut up!
I’m crying, and I’m not ashamed of it.
I have a para-social relationship with an Internet cartoonist and his life partner, that part I’m kinda ashamed of, but the tears are genuine happiness, and have I really been following him for over 15 years? There’s some sadness in those tears, but they’re covered by the happy ones
Back in my day, webcomics weren’t all fuzzy like reading through tears!
Same! Who’s responsible for this degradation in image quality?!
I used to be afraid of getting old, but I like this perspective. It’s not something to look forward to, but something to be proud of.

I hurt pretty often. I get tired more easily. I have hangovers now. If I jump out of the bed of a pickup my knees make noises. I could go on for days about it.
And it’s great. I don’t worry about what people think and I have adventures. I do what I want outside of work. And I have stories and hobbies and old friends.
Beautiful
And I thought the other day that it has been a while since he’s done a romantic comic.
I was wondering what happened with this the other day (haven’t kept up with XKCD since highschool).
It makes me happy that they’re both still here.
As we notice we’re getting older (I’m still sort of young, honest!), my partner and I like to remind each other that aging is a privilege. I really hope we get to grow old together.
Wonderful.
Is this not loss?
Is this gain?
wholesome.
