The xkcd comic by Randall Munroe on February 6, 2026 is titled Dinosaurs and Non-Dinosaurs. As shown above in my colorized version, there is a 2x2 table with horizontal categories for ARE DINOSAURS or ARE NOT DINOSAURS, and vertical categories for SEEM LIKE DINOSAURS or DON’T SEEM LIKE DINOSAURS.
This cartoon is discussed at Explain Xkcd. The box with orange at the upper right for ARE NOT DINOSAURS but SEEM LIKE DINOSAURS are mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, pteranodon, dimetrodon, and quetzalcoatlus. And the box with blue at the lower left for ARE DINOSAURS but DON’T SEEM LIKE DINOSAURS just are birds.
On January 19, 2024 I blogged about The Joy of 2x2 tables, or charts, or matrices.
