3: Island (sketch)
| Island (sketch) |
| Original title: Island |
 Title text: Hello, island Original caption: I draw these a lot. |
This was the third comic originally posted to LiveJournal. The previous one was 4: Landscape (sketch), and the next one was 2: Petit Trees (sketch). It was among the first thirteen comics posted to LiveJournal within 12 minutes on September 30, 2005, on the first day of the xkcd LiveJournal account.
Explanation[edit]
Like many of Randall's earlier comics, this does not appear to present a particular point, it's just a picture. The title text may be a reference to the classical "Hello, world!" program, traditionally the first program a developer runs when learning a new programming language.
Transcript[edit]
- [A mountainous green island surrounded by a large amount of water. The mountain is the only feature recognizable on it.]
Trivia[edit]
This is the only comic that has the same number both on xkcd.com and on LiveJournal.

It looks a bit like Saba, in the Caribbean. 82.161.213.206 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
- It's a hippo
I think the bumps on the top of the peak make a look like a hippopotamus-shaped island. 173.245.56.200 19:48, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
Is it just me or is the title text explanation trying to say something? 108.162.216.112 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
This looks a lot like the island with an old airfield in Kerbal Space Program. 162.158.238.112 09:15, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
- The first beta release of Kerbal Space Program was in 2015, this comic is form 2005. --Dgbrt (talk) 19:44, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
- I know. Clearly Randall is a time-traveler! (The beta release was in 2011, by the way.) 162.158.238.118 13:31, 22 November 2018 (UTC)
