ok, I have to address the elephant in the room: is the bad image quality intentional (part of the joke) or not or what is going on here?
in case it gets fixed, here it is right now:
TIL that there is a 2x size version of many xkcd comics, which the explainxkcd bot seems to have downloaded and which looks a lot better: www.explainxkcd.com/…/File:superstition_2x.png / imgs.xkcd.com/comics/superstition_2x.png

By “the post” what do you mean? The one in my comment is obviously the pixelated one, I am going to keep it that way for future documentation; the one on xkcd.com has however been fixed.

That’s just a link to the image hosted on xkcd.com, so if that is still pixelated, it’s probably a caching issue.
