xkcd: Bad Map Projection: Madagascator (29 Apr 2022) — Randall Munroe, “Bad Map Projection: Madagascator,“ xkcd, 29 Apr 2022.

Uncharacteristically for xkcd’s Bad Map Projection series, the Madagascator is actually totally legitimate as a projection. Not that it’s any less mischievous, mind.

Update, 3 May: Turns out there was more to this xkcd cartoon. See Mercator: Extreme.
