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 (this should be on the top of the list since I created it ;-))
5. (x, why?) - A funny webcomic, and has over 350 comics published to date.

6. Brown Sharpie - Updated every Mon, Wed, Fri, and can be quite humorous.

7. Brightly Wound - Often contains physics and astronomy as well.

8. twisted pencil - Usually updated Tue/Thu and contains lots of puppets.

9. mathTICS - Usually has some pretty funny strips. Not sure if the author is as active right now and the archive only has the first 100 strips.

10. Indexed - Interesting concept. Mostly consists of venn diagrams and graphs.

(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.

You can check out over 300 geeky comics at: xwhy.comicgenesis.com
