I'm not sure if you remember, but last post I discussed how it seemed that all Randy wants to do is make infographics. And now, looking at XKCD's follow-up to it's funniest comic in months, I must discount that possibility and go back to my earlier hypothesis: that Randy is just a lazy bastard that uses infographics as filler because he couldn't be bothered to think of an attempt at a joke.
Look at that chart. It's useless. Firstly, it's formatted really weird, so you can't easily count the squares in any given group. Secondly, fifteen of the twenty-one groups (~71.4%) aren't labelled, so you don't know what they are, other than if they're wild or tamed. Thirdly, several catagories of animals aren't counted at all, which makes the post even more useless than it was already.
Also, some people have trouble reading the light gray labels on the white background.
To quote Atop The Forth Wall, this comic sucks. It fails to be informative, it certainly fails to be funny, and it even fails to be interesting on anything more than an extremely simple level. Ugh.
