It is my honest, non-facetious opinion that Randall Munroe ought to be in the very serious running for the Nobel Literature Prize. His oeuvre is wide-ranching, deep, consistent, informative, relevant, thought-provoking, stylistically groundbreaking, and extensively quoted by all sorts of highly influential people the world over.

Although I don't agree with Randall Munroe being in Nobel Prize for Literature league, even if he was he would win it in his sixties.

To finish off why this is the case....
Because you need to wait for the generation who enjoyed his work during collage to be the political / social elite.

That looks like overly simplistic explanation. Literature Nobel Prize are usually given when someone's body of work stands the test of time although Lit. Nobel Prize has more than it's share of controversies.
