Soapbox

Standing on a soapbox is associated with a speaker elevating their importance, typically for a political speech, by standing on a box. This comic shows what can happen when stepping off of the soapbox.
Infinity Algorithm

Rather than make an algorithm with an infinite loop as a nod to infinity this comic uses a class and function so the code line spells out “infinity” and the output is “infinity” as well.
Early Bird

The early bird gets the worm is a common saying about hard work. This comic has fun with that.
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.
Great Regret

Cataclysms, especially caused by asteroid impacts, are among my favorite comic topics. I also enjoy the idea that the only survivors would be cockroaches. This cockroach expresses what it was hoping for rather than an impact.
The Great Adventurer

In the dark ages of RPGs you were on your own to find your quest objectives. There is nothing wrong with that for the serious gamer but it is a huge obstacle for the casual gamer. So game developers added HUDs (Heads-Up Display), maps, and quest markers to make it easier to find your objectives. In this comic the HUD vanishes.
Algorithm: Fibonacci Sequence

The Fibonacci Sequence is the sum of the prior two values starting with zero and one. This is not a funny comic. It is meant for the nerdy developer/programmer that appreciates algorithms. It is implemented in JavaScript.
Fishing

Anthropomorphism is not only a long word but also a great source of ideas for comics. This comic shows two parties going fishing, with one of them a giant fish trying to catch the human.
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.
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.
