Today's XKCD, "Sickness," treats with faith, hope, and frailty, and is a stirring affirmation for science as a source of comfort in times of trouble. Randall Munroe, the strip's creator, recently went on hiatus due to a family illness; this, presumably, was inspired by it. Thanks for such a great strip, Randall, and I hope things are looking up for your family.
