In 2014 he was nominated in the Best Graphic Story category, for Time. The popularity of the strip among science fiction fans resulted in Munroe being nominated for a Hugo Award for Best Fan Artist in 2011 and again in 2012. Munroe licenses his xkcd creations under the Creative Commons attribution-noncommercial 2.5, stating that it isn't just about the free culture movement, but that it also makes good business sense. He registered the domain name, but left it idle until he started posting his drawings in September 2005. Munroe had originally used xkcd as an instant messaging screenname because he wanted a name without a meaning so he wouldn't eventually grow tired of it.
Xkcd is a stick figure comic with themes in computer science, technology, mathematics, science, philosophy, language, pop culture and romance.
One of a small group of professional web cartoonists, math-obsessive and chronic-explainer Randall Munroe dazzles the online world (and racks up millions of monthly page views) with the meaninglessly-named (and occasionally heartbreaking) webcomic xkcd. Randall Munroe sketches elegant and illuminating explanations of the weird science and math questions that keep geeks awake at night.
