That's one small step off the couch, one giant leap over the coffee table, the television stand, the lamp, the bookcase . . .
I decided a long time ago that this comic strip (along with the blog that showcases it) could not become the Obit of the Week. I can't acknowledge every famous or historical person who may have influenced me in some way. I will try when I can -- when an idea occurs to me that fits and is something I'm capable of drawing.
That said, this is how I can pay tribute to both Neil Armstrong, a hero whose footsteps I would have loved to have followed in (and for once I can use the word literally!) and, at the same time, to my father.
Happy Birthday, Dad.

A few math jokes for you:
Was Pythagoras the first person to do a PPT presentation?
What's a pyramid scheme?
Dearth by triangulation.
What did the integer say to the whole number?
Hey, what's your sign -- Oooh. Sorry! My bad.
How are filmmakers like topologists?
They have open and closed sets, sequences that wind up in or out of the film; they pay full attention to surface details, whether parts are connected or not, and continuity; there's plenty of coffee and doughnuts.
Heard about the mathematician who broke the law? He found a counterexample. Did five years on a möbius strip. Never got to the end. Then was in and out of a Klein bottle.
