Religion is not the opium of the masses. Daily life is the opium of the masses.

True religion, which dares to acknowledge death and challenge the way we live, is an attempt to wake up.

This the home page, http://www.xkcd.com/?

So other then the (seemingly) direct links as "seen" from their webpage, the images are also (?) hosted as you've noted?

http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/grownups.png
http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/killed_in_action.png

And from you (which are also valid):

http://imgs.xkcd.com/clickdrag/3n2w.png
[n-s;5] ... [e-w;18]
What are the ;5 & ;18 doing?
Oh, they are limiting the range of n-s by 5 (chars), so that it is only n & s that are generated.
Neat, never realized that before.

So just another way of saying
