Today's xkcd was good:



But what really takes the cake is the following modification:

The world of math humor lost an important contributor today. The creator of Brown Sharpie "kinda quits" and instead of entertaining us, would rather drink beer and play with fuzzy kitties. Arrg!

Brown Sharpie is/was one of my favorite comics (easily making my personal top 5 list). I wish Courtney all the best for her future endeavors, grad school, beer drinking, and kittie playing. I'm impressed with how long she lasted and hopefully after a short break she'll back with a brand new set of brown sharpies.

From the site:
"I quit (kinda)!
I've been thinking about it for awhile, and I have a lot of good reasons: I'm not having fun anymore, three times a week is too often, I'm not really all that funny, I'm not that much of an artist, my mom is starting to understand too much math because of this comic, etc. So for now, I've decided to let my Brown Sharpie pursue other hobbies while I focus on things that make me happy (like grad school! and beer! and fuzzy kitties!)."

Sine Flu

Nov 27, 2009  
Two excellent "Sine Flu" comics!! See below.

The first comes from LukeSurl.com. His comics are very good. I haven't read all of them yet, but it's one of the things on my to do list :D
 


The second is the popular Brown Sharpie. I love the Seinfeld twist! errr Sinefeld ;-)

This Brown Sharpie comic is great :D



Just the other day, there was some math profs in the department talking about crafts and knitting. Apparently, they have their own little club and are meeting for craft night!! :-\

For some reason, both xkcd and Abstruse Goose comics today were very entertaining to me!! Yay!



By the way, today's Abstruse Goose comic references one of my favorite movies (and I don't mean star wars! arrg). Check it out, hilarious! Here is a hint.

1. the usual ghosts

It's a comic about life, science and ghosts. Sometimes has potty humor. Sometimes is geeky in the sciencey kind of way. Not very mathy though :-|, and doesn't seem to update often.

My favorite from that site (click to visit the site):

The mathrecreation blog just posted Math Teachers at Play 17 (well on Oct 15th, so I'm a few days late). You can find lots of humour (umm... or humor as they said on their site)... movies, activities, and MATH!! As quoted:
"There is plenty of humor, a few movies, some great activities and explorations, and lots of math in Math Teachers at Play 17. Hope you enjoy reading these as much as I did. Thanks to everyone who submitted posts or answered my requests to include their work."
Go check it out NOW and enjoy all the links, there is a lot of them so it should keep you busy for quite some time.

I remember marking papers and on NUMEROUS occasions a student would write down such a bizzarro answer it made me LOL in real life!! One of these days i'll write a post dedicated to some of the hilarious "mistakes" i've seen.

Funny (x,why?) comic

Sep 24, 2009  
I was going through the (x,why?) comic archives and this comic cracked me up:


It made me go to youtube to type in "needs more cowbell" but unfortunately I couldn't find a decent version of the SNL video. Fortunately, I found it on another video sharing site to satisfy my urges. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out the wiki entry on "More cowbell".

Abstruse goose had a funny comic titled
I won't ruin the punchline, but it starts off with an older looking mathematician trying to find a novel proof of the Poincare Conjecture. Check it out!

There seems to be 80 comics made at the Polytopes website (links to comic archive). Some are pretty funny but I'll let you be the judge of that. The cast of characters are all polyhedra, with a couple of random ducks thrown in there.

Some of the jokes go right above my head. The most recent (#80) is basically an imitation of a popular comic called "Dinosaur comics" in which the creator uses the same image for each strip and just replaces the words.

I'm a math geek, so I enjoy reading the occasional comic strip that's math related. Here is my list of the top 10 webcomics/comics that I read on a regular basis:

1. Foxtrot - Surely, everyone knows this one. It occasionally has a lot of math humor but is currently on a Sunday only publication schedule.

2. xkcd - Updated every Mon, Wed, Fri, and a very popular webcomic online.

3. Abstruse Goose - Funny webcomic updated regularly, but often physics related as well.

4. Spiked Math - New daily webcomic in color.

(x, why?) Comics is a geeky and hilarious comic about math. It is created by Chris Burke, a high school math teacher in New York as well as a part-time writer, and a fan of science-fiction / fantasy books and films. He started making his own math webcomic totally by accident as a way of amusing his students and trying to make them think just a little bit more.
