Why doesn't Randall Munroe publish?

His comics cover an insane amount of breadth for a single person.
e.g. statistics: https://xkcd.com/2001/
computer science: https://xkcd.com/287/
physics: https://xkcd.com/1047/
mathematics: https://xkcd.com/128/
(Those examples were just from a 5 minute search. There are definitely more advanced examples out there.)
I have never seen someone with so much expertise across so many separate fields. I feel he could be a modern day von Neumann (the guy in my picture) if he wanted to.
(Interestingly, von Neumann's interests were also mathematics, physics, and computer science. So both von Neumann and Munroe's areas of expertise overlap almost perfectly with each other.)
