I would think that the most upvoted comic would be the "most loved", but that was not even considered. Posting is easy, garnering upvotes is the "love" signal.

As is usual with statistics, the methodology greatly affects the outcome.

I think most people would upvote a reference to a xkcd based on how relevant they think it is to the post, not how much they love it.
