Just wondering, but do people actually find xkcd funny? Are these comics supposed to be funny?

It's a comic published multiple times a week. Common social etiquette is that if you find it funny (which is known to happen), you give it a grin or a mild chuckle or whatever, and then move on with your morning and, by extension, the rest of your life.
