I’d love it if XKCD had another series like The Barrel Boy.

Starting with issue one the “Barrel” boy floats along innocently. We don’t have a name, a reason or a destination, but if you’re half the secret romantic I am then you’ll have at least a tiny heart twinge when the story unfolds.

Here’s the Barrel Boy series as reproduced from xkcd.com.

Part one.

Part two.

Part three.

Part four.

Part five.

And one more, unrelated, “Graduation”.

I thought it was called, the Lighthouse. But that’s because I love this song.
