Don't go changing to try to please me. You're significant just the way you are.

If each contestant has a fair chance at drawing the short straw, then there's also a fair chance that this wouldn't be the worst game show on TV.

The small comic size is due to the fact that I was zoomed in when I was drawing it without realizing. No wonder I was having some difficulties.

Add ''Mathematician'' to the set which includes ''Running the Country'', ''Freeing the Slaves'' and ''Hunting Vampires''.

The nut doesn't fall far from this tree, but it will fall from both sides.

Being 1000 paces, it's actually more 'metric' than the meter is.

Easy to convert? Sure. Little more than a yard. Little more than a quart. Little more than two pounds.

And why is it always the ones who have the emptiest notebooks who cry the loudest to use their notes?

Stressed? Sounds like it.

Lottery

It's also great to go back in time to swipe some of your old comics and make them new again, particularly when work has you down -- and you didn't hit that lottery jackpot, so early retirement is out of the question.

Archive Page Getting a Face-Lift (Sort of)

My archive page at http://www.mrburkemath.net/xwhy/archive.html is getting updated. I've neglected it for quite a while.

It doesn't list all the comics, and probably never will. It's a static, not a dynamic, page. I fix it by hand, and that's a pain.

Right now, the comics are sorted by number, but I'm open to the idea of listing some of them thematically, or even just a list of favorites, at the top. Maybe a "Top Ten" list?

All suggestions are welcome.
