For XKCD fans

could you imagine if it was round or something...
I saw it this morning, and managed to miss the click and drag instructions -
it actually works within the large pane in the comic, well worth going there
and checking it out. It's amazing how it's done, and it stays sharp at different
zoom levels (in the second link)

Anyone know how it's done?

I actually tried - to no avail - to get the large image from the source of the webpage. From what I understand, it's JavaScript.

What impresses me the most, though, is how the artist (Randall Munroe) managed to draw all that and include small gags everywhere. That's an impressive amount of work.
