The Barter System

So, I'm trying out a new font. I'm open to opinions. Somehow I must have installed it wrong, because it doesn't have lower case letters. Luckily, I don't really use those. I have a couple others I might try as well.

Alright, that's my last self referencing comic for a long time. (But, no promises.)

Trust Me, He Deserves It

It occurred to me when I finished this comic that from what we've seen of Allen so far he might not have deserved the bees. Calling them 'Simples' earlier, though a strongly condescending term in Mathland, might not seem to warrant a 'Seinfeld Surprise'. For the moment, I entreat you all to trust that it's a just action and enjoy the comic from that stand point. You can change your opinion later if Allen doesn't prove to be the asshole I envision him as.

P.S. - How the hell do you indent in a blog post?

Paul's Transcendental Crisis

Here's another installment from Mathworld. I apologize if any of the words in today's comic make your head hurt. They make John's head hurt too. Technically the only math here not covered in high school is the Fermat point, but it's not the high school math that was ever useful anywhere else.

Next, Allen (the Awesome-gon) shows his face again.

P.S. - I haven't given up on my hand drawn characters, they just take a little longer. I should have one up next week.

Korrect

If you'll all direct your eyes down to comic 4, I believe I've fixed the word bubble problem.

Thanks to Pat, of Myopia fame, for being the straw that broke my stubornes on the issue.

More From Mathland

Mathland

I call it Mathland instead of Flatland, because in the world Abbot wrote about Alan would have been killed at birth as an abomination against God. A subtle, but pivotal difference.

In Which Names Are Given

There's still more to be done in outlining the premise, but this sums up the characters so far. Not so much in their job descriptions, but in their reactions.

We aren't out of the woods yet on self reference, but there will now be a short break from it.
