A Greek Hen

(C)Copyright 2023, C. Burke. "AnthroNumerics" is a trademark of Christopher J. Burke and (x, why?).

When he gets a second, At Last, it would, of course, be named James.

Many times, when I look at a chart, I don't see what I'm supposed to see. I see the sideways things that aren't meant to be seen. Like when you focus on the null space or white space instead of the picture itself.

And this one actually started wtih me thinking that "Nova" means "Star" not "new". It also means "No Go" in Spanish, sort of.

But I found a joke I could speak to, a joke that I can call my own. I found a pun to press my geek to. A groan that I've never known. At last.

Note to newcomers: sometimes my after-comic commentary has little to do with the comic. I just go off on tangents. And then the spell is cast.

Anything is comic fodder. I'm such a character.

This would've been more timely had it posted yesterday, but sometimes things get saved as drafts and you forget to publish.

Phi points is a lot better than epsilon points. So take the grade and cut your losses!

I think Ken would more likely have this hanging in his room than Mike.

Guest Comic: It's All Greek to Me

It occurred to Christopher that, at one time or another, he has used 18 of 24 Greek letters in his classes. So far.

The progression in the comic is interesting in that when he created his previous guest comic in 2010, he was just finishing middle school. He is now, five years later, in college. At Cornell University. Yes, I'm proud. And I'm extremely happy that when I "kinda/sorta" asked if he'd like to do another comic -- not knowing if it'd be as fun as when he was 14 -- he responded immediately. So quickly that I could use it for Comic #999.

I won't stop bragging about my kids -- although next comic I get to brag about me, if for just one day.
