I decided to view every xkcd comic in order, starting with the first. One thing that frustrated me was the small next link that you had to click to view the next comic in the series.

To make the process a little more user friendly, I decided to code up a quick Greasemonkey script. This is my first script (in fact I added Greasemonkey to my Firefox just for this purpose), so let me know if I've violated any Greasemonkey best practices.

So pop it into your scripts, and get clicking!

Update

It turns out, some xkcd comics already are linked! At first, it was wrapping the link, and the click was bubbling up, but only sometimes! I decided to revisit the script to allow for linked comics.

So I present you with version 1.1, and it will show an original link link below, so you can still clickthrough if you like.
