I briefly talked about the webcomic Peebles Lab in an earlier post a long time ago, but not in its own post. Check it out if you haven't already.

Brown Sharpie Kinda Quits
Jan 8, 2010
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!)."

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!! :-\

Webcomics - the usual ghosts - Peebles Lab
Nov 18, 2009
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):

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".

Check out this webcomic called Polytopes
Sep 20, 2009
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.
