Yes, there are several math concepts involved here: twin primes, the fibonacci sequence and Mersenne primes, all of which combine which a reference to a 70s Saturday morning cartoon to make this the UberGeekiest comic to date.
Mr. Burke is 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.
Unless otherwise stated, all math cartoons and other images on this webpage are the creation and property of Mr. Chris Burke and cannot be reused without permission.
Thank you.

Wikipedia is your friend.
So is mathwords.com

I am unrepentant.
