I'm not sure what the deal is with the alt-text on that comic, unless it's simply a lightweight allusion to the childfree movement.
On second thought, the alt-text to the latest comic is kinda botched, it should be "compare function" or "sort function", not "search function". I didn't even notice it, I was sure it said "sort".
Botched it is, haven't noticed that too. About the first one, I think this " ... and shouldn't" is actually a very стрёмная (how would you translate it?) allusion aimed at the average xkcd follower: if you find this funny in a sense of "I could've said that", then it's better if you don't procreate.
