  <p>So talented people have figured out how to make <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xkcd" rel="noreferrer">xkcd</a> style graphs <a href="https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/questions/11350/xkcd-style-graphs">in Mathematica</a>, <a href="https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/74878/create-xkcd-style-diagram-in-tex">in LaTeX</a>, <a href="http://nbviewer.ipython.org/3835181/" rel="noreferrer">in Python</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12675147/xkcd-style-graphs-in-r">in R</a> already.</p>
  <p>How can one use MATLAB to produce a plot that looks like the one above?</p>
  <h3>What I have tried</h3>
  <p>I created wiggly lines, but I couldn't get wiggly axes. The only solution I thought of was to overwrite them with wiggly lines, but I want to be able to change the actual axes. I also could not get the Humor font to work, the code bit used was:</p>
  <pre><code> annotation('textbox',[left+left/8 top+0.65*top 0.05525 0.065],...
  'String',{'EMBARRASSMENT'},...
  'FontSize',24,...
  'FontName','Humor',...
  'FitBoxToText','off',...
  'LineStyle','none');
  </code></pre>
  <p>For the wiggly line, I experimented with adding a small random noise and smoothing:</p>
  <pre><code> smooth(0.05*randn(size(x)),10)
  </code></pre>
  <p>But I couldn't make the white background the appears around them when they intersect...</p>
