Declaration Translated

Thomas Jefferson is without a doubt an important man in American history. He was only a young man but was chosen to draft the Declaration of Independence. That document outlined the reason when the Thirteen Colonies deserved to be independent from the tyrannical British Empire. This comic shows the eloquent approach of Jefferson and how he might have handled it today.
Uncertainty

The quantum mechanics Uncertainty Principle describes how for sub-atomic particles the higher the certainty of the velocity or position the greater the uncertainty of the other. This ant colony under constant attack by an anteater has a leader that does not understand the difference in scale.
Blocks To Slippers

If you have ever been to a house with young kids and popular plastic building blocks you know just how much they hurt when you step on them. This comic speculates on the real impetus for selling the blocks.
Unified Field Party

Unified Field Theory is the idea that all of the fundamental forces are related and can be described with the same set of equations. Electromagnetism, the Weak Nuclear force, and the Strong Nuclear force have all been described in this way. Gravity, however, has so far resisted all unifying attempts. This comic has fun with that fact.
Four Printers of the Apocalypse

Printers are often the bane of IT departments. They have many different ways to break down and often do. This comic makes them the Four Printers of the Apocalypse. The Horsemen would be easier to vanquish.
Stand Out

Standing out in the crowd will often garner attention. In this comic it reminds why that is not always a good thing when predators are watching.
User Manual

User manuals, when they are included, are among the most ignored things in the world. This comic is about that fact. It posits that had Germany spread their top secret messages in user manuals rather than using radio transmissions of messages encoded by the Enigma machine they probably would never have been found by the Allies.
Tree of Knowledge 2022

The fabled Tree of Knowledge from Genesis bore a fruit Adam and Eve were forbidden from eating. This comic replaces the fruit with unpopular things from our modern world, including lawyers, politicians, charging adapters, software updates, and the like.
RPG Grind
