You know that imaginary team member who gets blamed for everything that goes wrong? Yeah, that's him.

I don't mind the negative ones so much as the guy that keeps going back and forth.

When I say refer to Notepad, I'm usually talking about the spiral memo pad in my shirt pocket. It's the only way to remember stuff.

Home of the Original *Farmville Funnies*!!

Yes, when I'm not making math comics, I'm wasting way too much time playing Farmville on Facebook. One of the features that they have is to take pictures of your farm and allow you to post them. Naturally, I saw the comic potential there, and I've posted some comics on this blogs as Bonus comics, not in the regular numbering, mostly because I don't own the artwork.

What makes me want to take today to flaunt Home of the Original Farmville Funnies?
Well, yesterday I was given a heads-up that I stole the name of the feature.
By someone who started using it about 8 months AFTER I first used it.
Now, someone might have beaten me to using it given that it's an obvious thing to call them, but it definitely wasn't the Anonymous poster.

So lest anyone believe that I actually stole anything, here is a listing of the five Farmville-themed comics I did before getting it out of my system:

Farmville Funnies #1.
Farmville Funnies #2.
Farmville Funnies #3.
Farmville Funnies #4.
Farmville Funnies #5.

Almost only counts in horseshoes and handgrenades and rounding errors of Biblical proportions. (*)

That's a pun: smile or groan, but don't start an argument. It shalt be deleted.

Cardinality

It's like Wessonality, but with Cardinals.

Something told me to upload this on Sunday instead of waiting for Monday.

I Don't Plan on Using Google Plus for the Comic

I, personally, am on Google+. Unfortunately, when I clicked on the invitation to join, which was sent to my hotmail account, I was logged into gmail as mrburkemath and not my personal gmail account (which I really don't use because I still have the hotmail account).

Anyway, I am on Google+ as mrburkemath, but don't expect to see comics and stuff realeased or promoted regularly on it.

I bring this up because a total stranger added me to his circles. It turns out that he's an educator and probably follows either the comic or the entire blog. I have no problem with that, but you're more likely to hear me talk about science fiction or Munchkin or what a day it's been than about math or webcomics.

I like pirates, okay?!
And after botching the last strip, this one was going to be a simple one.

Would Anyone Buy an (x, why?) eBook?

Not that there is one at the moment. Or plans to make one.

Assembling one would take a bit of time, especially when you consider that I'd have to figure out how to make one first. And then collect and format a bunch of the comics.

If the answer is yes, what would you want to see in it? Just the comics. The notes. Behind the scenes stuff.

A print book would be ridiculously expensive to consider, but ebooks are cheap, so I've toyed with the idea. And then reality sinks in.

If ... and ... and ...

That's what you call a mighty big IF!

And, yes, it's really, really much bigger than that, but there aren't enough letters in the alphabet for all those conditions. On the flip side, the chance of being wrong is really, really small (cf. infinitesmal).

EDIT: Yes, only half the table is there.
The final column uses u as if it were v, which is missing.
My odds of being right just went up to 99.2%!
So this comic falls into the 0.8.

Dork Tower: Good Grief!

This Dork Tower comic is either funny or not funny, but you won't know which until you click on the link. Until then, it's half-funny.

When you get right down to it at the end of the day, it is what it is.

(And what it is is a set of three overused cliches.)
