        You can embed the image, but I think you need to use the image link, rather than the comic page link:

          Hmm. On one hand, the image link properly embeds while the comic link is just a little OBJ square that I can open. On the other hand, the comic link preserves the alt text.

        While true, be advised that some consider it rude to hotlink images without permission

        Edit: as pointed out below, Randall gives permission to hotlink/embed on each comic page.

            It’s old internet etiquette. I think the point is that hotlinking asks someone else to serve content without giving them traffic, if that makes sense.

            It actually gets funnier than etiquette like the old poster mentioned. Some folks got pissed enough from people doing it that they would replace the images with goatse.
