State obviously differs, but in contrast to xkcd comics those examples don’t give me the impulse “this is share-worthy content, there should be more of it”. It isn’t that it’s bad or objectionable but it’s still not in the class of the webcomics I find valuable.
Given the success of xkcd and the artistic complexity of xkcd I don’t think that being “good at art” is the core skill of Randall.

I don’t doubt this either.
To be honest, I’m unsure of my ability to sorta approximate the sort of in-group humor that comics like SMBC/xkcd do, but I’d parsed your original statement as one of general “being not-terrible at artsiness”.
Happy to spend some time trying some prototype ideas in the coming weeks, though.
