The Singers of the Declaration of Independence

(Click on the comic if you can't see the full image.)

Bet you thought it was a typo. Okay, it's not as catchy as the Preamble song, but what is?

John Dickinson, who originally wrote "The Liberty Song" in 1768, did not sign the Declaration, but contrary to popular musicals, he didn't leave Congress either. Also Judge James Wilson of Pennsylvania was not Dickinson's shadow, but it played well on stage.

Final note: when I realized how large I needed to make the comic, I expanded the field to a size of 1776 by 704. Because I could, and no one could tell me otherwise. (Except maybe a publisher some day.)




Come back often for more funny math and geeky comics.
