Other comics you may enjoy

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.
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.
Web Development Pitfalls

Web development like most development/programming projects have pitfalls that other projects do not have to deal with. People can have an idea of what goes into building a house but since the development/programmer population is small compared to the overall population there is not as much understanding.
Nerd Tiles

This comic for the web developers/programmers generates the tiles that spell out four different nerd names: nerd, geek, dork, and dweeb. This could have been made simpler with just HTML and CSS but where is the fun in that. So it also includes JavaScript.
God Command Line

A silly comic replacing the commonly used *nix command “ls” with “god” that is perfect for developers/programmers/IT nerds.
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.
JWST Stephan Quintet

The Stephan Quintet was one of the first images released by NASA following the extensive calibration and testing phase of the James Webb space telescope. It showed the impressive resolving power of the enormous primary mirror. This comics has a little fun with it.
Timeline Astronomy

A comic having fun with the fact that our ancestors described the night sky in terms of gods and magic, then mathematics with the contributions of Galileo, Newton, and others, and then back to magic with the works of Einstein, Hubble, and Hawking.
RPG Grind

Game players are familiar with the RPG cycle. When you start you are so weak you die to a stiff breeze and the only loot you can find is pocket lint. By the late game you are so powerful and wealthy that gear bestowed by the gods is beneath you.
Desktops

Web developers/programmers and designers need to work closely together if those duties are handled by different people. As a lead web developer I had ample opportunities of seeing the desktops of my fellow developers and the talented designers and how different their minds worked. This comic showcases the disparity in the laptop desktops. I created it with two little JavaScript-powered web pages, one for each desktop, to add emojis as the icons. I took the photos used as the backgrounds.
