Read Max's blog post on development of the comic. 'This comic was put together by Max Goodhart, Patrick, Amber, Benjamin Staffin, Kevin Cotrone, and Michael Leuchtenburg.' This comic has a unique header text, see the details here. Some keywords, however, have special responses. Incidentally, inputting the SOS signal gives 'YOU TOO?'.įor the majority of inputs, the check box responds with a random selection from the following list: , which is the Morse Code for 'SOS', the international distress signal. The title text hints at the use of Morse Code in the comic interpreting the 'check' as a Morse Code dot and the 'chhecck' (a long check) as a Morse Code dash gives. If left without any initial input for 30 seconds it would send the message CQ (meaning 'Seek You'). These responses are also printed in the browser's JavaScript console in both plain text and a textual representation of Morse code. The check box then begins operating by itself, producing sounds which can be decoded as Morse Code. All long presses are represented by a bar of a pre-determined length in other words, a longer press does not result in a longer bar.īy varying between brief and long presses, and brief and long intervals between presses, it is possible to enter characters in Morse Code. The representation consists of a dot for a short press, or a bar for a longer press. Under the checkbox is a scrolling visual representation of the timing and duration of clicks in the check box, which also produce matching beeping sounds when unmuted. It also had only one element in the center, but not a check box, but a radio button. The very similar April Fool's comic from the next year, 2601: Instructions, used audio, too. This was the second comic with audio on xkcd. By unmuting, and changing it to a loudspeaker, sounds are played when the check box is checked. In the bottom right is a mute button, which begins muted.

In the center is a check box, which clears itself immediately when checked. The frame is replaced with an interactive panel. The actual comic (this “loading screen”) consists of an animated gif of a checkbox (hence the name). The comic looks similar to a loading screen. The next became 2601: Instructions released on Friday Ap(a regular release day). The previous fool's comic was 2288: Collector's Edition, which was delayed two days and released on Friday April 3, 2020. This was the 11th April fools' comic released by Randall.
