Why would you want a mirror, and especially why would you want a mirror on an ephemeral image hosting site? The XKCD site has been online since '06 and is already archived on archive.is and web.archive.org, imgur has been online for less than that time and certainly can't boast the same amount of uptime.

    a) sites go down and disappear
    b) sites get censored / taken down by random acts of god

Maybe they were trying to prevent a HN hug of death? XKCD handles those surprisingly well.
