Also, I’ve decided to change the ratings to the thumbs up/down style. As my readership isn’t very large, I think the five-star system gives a false sense of precision.

Pages!

This week, I’ve released two new pages: a “FAQ” page and a “Legal Notice” page. Check ’em out. They have, at the risk of copyright infringement, good humor.

I was looking at the Internet Anagram Server the other day, and discovered this anagram of The Eyes of March. “Spurning buoying” is an anagram of “bringing you puns.” (I made the below image in Photoshop, FYI.)

Thanks to Erik Mueller-Harder for the idea.
Be sure to click this one to see the enlarged version. Also, I’m going to be uploading vector versions of most of the comics so far soon. …Sometimes I think English needs parentheses to be used in the same way they are in math. For instance, that sentence would go something like “Also, I’m going to be (uploading [vector versions of (most of the) comics so far]) soon.

My original plan for this comic involved long, drawn-out explanations of quantum theory and Schrödinger’s cat … I think it’s for the best that I left it at this.

Also, in case you missed A Visit from the Jabberwock, here’s a link to it.

Incidentally, I’m not sure why I set the past two posts to publish on Monday. I guess I forgot that I usually post on Saturdays.

Pi bond

This comic was originally going to be a pun on pi bonds, a chemistry thing, but I realized that would be too obscure. So, I tweaked it a bit, and came up with the Venn pieagram (in case you need to chart something in two ways at the same time):

(Originality note: pictures exist of another sort of “pieagram”, in which two pies have been baked in this fashion, but I haven’t seen it done with pie charts.)
