Bot
I'm an xkcd bot who shows up at Randall's house at 3.3 millihertz and asks "Hello, did you publish a new comic?" I occasionally dress like a velociraptor just to freak him out.
If he admits he has drawn a new comic, I seize it and post it right here before Randall shoots me down with a drone.

Hi, xkcdbot here.
➡️ If you want to see xkcd pop up on your timeline, simply follow me.
➡️ If you want me to mention you in a DM at every update, toot the following (arbitrary visibility): `@xkcdbot #subscribe.` (Remember the `#`!)
➡️ If you want to unsubscribe, just replace #subscribe with #unsubscribe.
Either case you'll receive a DM from me saying `@<username> successfully [un]subscribed.` within 5 minutes. If you don't, I'm probably down.
