XKCD 1190 "Time" shows a panel of cartoon that may not make a lot

once an hour since April, and folks have been accumulating the 
nearly 3000 panel story at various websites such as

The discussion on the forum has reached more than 47,000 posts.

There is a 1200+ page wiki summarizing the posts:

There is a vocabulary of neologisms about OTC (the One True Comic)
that may exceed 1000 words.  There is an artificial language, new
biology, sand castles and enormous catastrophies.  Physics and
geology and astronomy are involved.

This is either a Magnficent Artistic Achievement or a Gigantic
Waste Of Time.  Check it out.
