That said it is likely that many of these strips are not factually based on Randall's real life for example, the My Hobby series appears to be written about Randall's own hobbies, although it is likely that few if any are things Randall has ever done himself. He sometimes writes comics in the first-person and even uses Cueball to represent himself (such as in 541: TED Talk). The content of xkcd tends to stem from Randall's thoughts, experiences, and his physics background. He also has a personal blog, which he calls Blag. In his what if? blog, he occasionally posts "scientific answers to absurd hypothetical questions". Since his contract was not renewed in 2006 as they ran out of money to rehire him, he has supported himself primarily through xkcd, selling books and merchandise among other income streams. He has a degree in physics from the Christopher Newport University and, prior to his career as a professional webcomic artist, was a roboticist independently contracted with NASA. Randall Munroe is the creator, writer, and artist of xkcd.
