Big.

No, literally it contains 81 by 32 tiles each being 2048 by 2048 (some sparse). So that's nearly an 11 gigapixel image, stored in 6MB of 225 PNG tiles, for a full resolution of 165888 by 65536. I have it compressed into a 15MB PNG file, but good luck finding a viewer that will cope.

Code to build full image:

 #!/bin/bash

 LOWX=33
HIGHX=48
LOWY=13
HIGHY=19

 echo "P1 1 1 0" | pnmscale 2048 >nblank.pnm
echo "P1 1 1 1" | pnmscale 2048 >sblank.pnm

 for y in `seq -f "%gn" $LOWY -1 1` `seq -f "%gs" $HIGHY` ; do
for x in `seq -f "%gw" $LOWX  -1 1` `seq -f "%ge" $HIGHX` ; do
if ! test -e "$y$x.pnm" ; then
if ! test -e "$y$x.png" ; then
wget http://imgs.xkcd.com/clickdrag/$y$x.png
fi
if test -e "$y$x.png" ; then
pngtopnm <$y$x.png | ppmtopgm >$y$x.pnm
else
if test "n" = "`echo $y | sed -e "s/^.*\(.\)$/\1/"`" ; then
ln -s nblank.pnm $y$x.pnm
else
ln -s sblank.pnm $y$x.pnm
fi
fi
fi
done
done

 for y in `seq -f "%gn" $LOWY -1 1` `seq -f "%gs" $HIGHY` ; do
echo pnmcat -leftright `seq -f "$y%gw.pnm" $LOWX  -1 1` `seq -f "$y%ge.pnm" $HIGHX`
pnmcat -leftright `seq -f "$y%gw.pnm" $LOWX  -1 1` `seq -f "$y%ge.pnm" $HIGHX` >$y.pnm
done
echo pnmcat -topbottom `seq -f "%gn.pnm" $LOWY -1 1` `seq -f "%gs.pnm" $HIGHY`
pnmcat -topbottom `seq -f "%gn.pnm" $LOWY -1 1` `seq -f "%gs.pnm" $HIGHY` >all.pnm
pnmscale -reduce 8 all.pnm | pnmtopng >all_reduced.png
pnmtopng all.pnm >all.png

Note the ppmtopgm stage - this is because one of the tiles appears to be saved as a colour PNG rather than a greyscale PNG, even though it contains a greyscale image. This stage prevents the output file (all.pnm which is 9.5GB in size) from being three times the size.
