Was bored during class, wrote a XKCD parsing script to give you the URL, Name and Title of the specified (or current) comic. Also contains an option to only print the URL so you can pipe it into stuff.

xkcd.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3
from urllib import request
import argparse

def format_text(text_input):
    return text_input.replace("'", "'")

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Grab the URL to the specified XKCD comic.")
parser.add_argument('-c', '--comic', type=int, help="Specify a comic, or do not specify for the latest comic")
parser.add_argument('-u', '--url-only', action='store_true', help="Only print the URL, useful for piping")
args = parser.parse_args()
if args.comic != None:
    xkcd = request.urlopen("http://xkcd.com/" + str(args.comic), data=None)
else:
    xkcd = request.urlopen("http://xkcd.com/", data=None)
xkcd = xkcd.readlines()
for code in xkcd:
    if "imgs.xkcd.com/comics" in str(code):
        code = str(code).split('"')
        if args.url_only != True:
            print("Comic '" + format_text(code[5]) + "'")
            print("Title: \"" + format_text(code[3]) + "\"")
            print("")
        print(code[1])
        break
