Hi there,
no activitiy here for a long time, but maybe someone can help me. I am often using the following comic in my presentations https://xkcd.com/898/. Problem is, the resolution is bad, so it doesn't look that good.
I already contacted XKCD a while ago, offering them to pay for a higher resolution, but there was no reply. My question is, would someone of you be able to generate an SVG out of it so my presenations look better in future?
Thank you, Matthias
I can do it for you Matthias, give me an hour or so :)

In case you need to flexibly do this your own:
1. righclick on the biggest version you can get -> "copy" 2. start inkscape and "paste" 3. shift+alt+b -> "OK" 4. delete the original and do whatever you need with the svg path.
Hey Matthias,
Sorry, a tad bit late. Here is the graphic in svg http://elioqoshi.me/owncloud/index.php/s/NLCkX4y8A5L30MT
Let me know if that works,

Thank you. Did you do it like mray described, or did you do it in another way? (Thank you for that!) It looks less XKCD style, so I'll have to think about the advantages and disadvantages.
Best Regards, Matthias
Hey Matthias,
That's impossible to do, the resolution is way too low. I recreated it on my own instead, hence different style. If I'd know the the name of the font used it would look better even. I can retry that.

Hey Matthias,
I found the font of xkcd on their GitHub. It's licensed under a CC-BY-NC 3.0 license: https://github.com/ipython/xkcd-font
I updated the graphic with the font and fixed some arrows. I fear this is the closest I can get without the source files. http://elioqoshi.me/owncloud/index.php/s/NLCkX4y8A5L30MT
