Just watch out for those cubics trying to come between them!

And things might get a little improper before that happens!

I knew I hadn't done one of these in a while. Didn't realize that it had been more than TWO YEARS since the last one.
Especially when you consider the "promo" version, without other characters, are easy to create. Coming up with a throwaway line, on the other hand, takes a little more time.

It also might be time for a new "set" because that desk was one of the earliest things I ever drew for this strip (nearly 10 years ago) that I still use, and for the life of me, I have no idea what fonts I use -- or even if I still have them available!

Pi doesn't do rational conversations so well . . .

Bringing back some of the oldies before I hit 1,000 comics.

So what am I missing? What topics haven't I done? Or haven't done in a while? What are your favorites? Likes/Dislikes? (Almost sounds like a superficial interview.)

Come back often for more funny math comics. Okay?

When you confuse absolute value of zero with absolute zero, Algebra can leave you cold.

When it comes to the whole number line, the Whole Numbers are such a small part of it, and yet a very important part, especially if you ask my students their opinions of fractions.

A couple of returns today: we haven't seen the New Number 2 in quit a while, since 2009 it seems. And while Mr. 0 has been around, the last 0'Factor was back in 2010.

Funny thing: I've been wanting to do another 0'Factor for three years now. Funnier thing: this wasn't even the one that I've been planning to do. Funniest thing: I still find it hard to believe that I've been doing a webcomic for over three years and this bit has had a three-year hiatus!

I was getting a now-or-never feeling for this strip.

I haven't done one of these in two years, so on 10/11/12, I give you installment 13.
No, I didn't plan that one at all.

"And are you a reciprocal girl?"

You know, I just checked the "OFactor" tag to see if any of the links were broken, and I didn't realize that it has been over a year since the last time I used this bit. I've used the character, but not the bit.



UPDATE: As of 2:00pm, the Comic Genesis link isn't working because they have not updated the website yet. Apparently, they are having a problem with their servers.

UPDATE 2: As of this writing, the backlog at CG has fallen from 9800 to 7, but I'm still not updated. I'm debating initiating another update manually, but that would put me to the back of the line. Granted, it says the line isn't very long, but that number hasn't changed in a while.

It's that Law of Gravity that's really keeping me down...

By the way, I'm aware that Rich Bond isn't really a money guy. But c'mon! It's just too good a name not to use.

I really wanted to avoid a pun like "See the ladies of Mobius Strip", if only because I wouldn't be able to realize the full visual potential of such a pun.

Remember, she's a "uniter" not a "divider". How about a "decider"?
