American Pride

A nerdy web developer/programmer comic showing the HTML/JS/CSS to generate an American flag.
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.
Benjamin Franklin

Benjamin Franklin was a pivotal American hero. One of the Founding Fathers, an accomplished polymath, and creator of institutions such as public libraries and fire departments. There is a famous story about Franklin flying a kite in a storm to prove that lightning was an electrical phenomenon.
Mean Time Estimates

Time estimates are fiendishly difficult with complex projects and despite the depiction in this comic everyone is trying to do the best for their team and chances are they are all going to be wrong with their estimates. The comic shows the disparity of estimates given the combination of technical understanding of the effort as well as the chances of being yelled at by the client. It is a very arrangement made for comical effect.
Painted Turtle

This is a comic based on the saying, “If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck then it is a duck.” But with the colorful North American painted turtle. It is based on when I told someone about the photographs I took of them, including the one I used to make this illustration.
Best Way to Know Somebody

This is a science geek's version of the famous saying (paraphrased) that the best way to know someone is to walk a mile in their shoes. It uses the parsec rather than the mile because it is extremely long.
My API

Developers/programmers often have a reputation for being hard to deal with. This satire offers an possible explanation. It says: I'm not hard to deal with. I just haven't published my API yet.
Ashes to Ashes

This is a nerdy take on the saying describing humans returning to their origins, “Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust.” This instead uses the *Nix special device /dev/null.
