See if Randall Monroe (xkcd) wants to do some art for the book

I figured there'd be a bit of a metacircular XKCD <3 perl → perl <3 XKCD thing, and so maybe later when the book is near done, we can contact Randall and ask him if he's interested in making a contribution.

it's possible we might get permission to use existing cartoons on perl, possibly even for commercial book without payment, but all up for negotiation. He doesn't mention doing commissions for new cartoons, but we can ask.
