Happy New Years Eve!


Happy New Years Eve!
Prepartations were being made today, and I was watching my nephew, so I didn't get to the comic that I wanted to. Watch this space. It'll be here. Hopefully, with the New Year.

Merry Christmas 2022

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

Merry Christmas!

Fire D Cannon on D orders of D Major Johann Pachelbel.

Credit to Trans-Siberian Orchestra for the lyrics.

I'm sure I've heard this played in recent years, but this year it seemed to be in heavy rotation on the Internet station I was listening to at work. The funny thing about it is that when I hear it, it reminds me of something from a long time before TSO put their version on any album. I think this was used for TV commercials, specifically, diamonds and diamond rings, but I couldn't tell you what store. (They're probably not around any more.)

I only put the refrain in the comic because that's all I know and remember of the song. I looked up the rest, but I figured, this is what others might recognize, even if they didn't know the name of the tune was "Christmas Canon", based on Johann Pachelbel's Canon in D Major.

Again, have a Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas

At the in-laws, Christmas Eve has always been a fish dinner. It's called 7 fishes, but I've never counted them to know if it referred to the number of fishes or the number of fishes dishes. I've heard references to the 7 Sacraments and to the 7 Hills of Rome.

For the record, I eat some of them, but some members of the family have plain pasta with any clam sauce.

The family tried to recreate my FIL's tradition as best as they could. New traditions will be in the offing in the years ahead.

Long Lay The World...

Pining for the fjords. Or for presents. Or something.

My apologies if I've done this one before. I know I've thought it before.

It's a crazy time. I've come up with a couple of good ones, but the fact that I don't remember them a day later tells me that they weren't that memorable. I've been listening to Christmas music radio, so anything inspired by a song would reoccur to me should I hear it again. Much like the above comic.

I do have one more comic that I might start for next year because it'll take time that I don't have. Plus I have a couple other thoughts that I need to use this year.

Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Season and a Happy New Year to everyone out there who has kept me going. I plan on updating again before Sunday, but if I don't make it, I want it printed now.

Thank you everyone. I appreciate you whether you post or not. Especially those who post when I don't make math errors, but when I do, too.

O Christmas Tree

I said shapes because my hand-drawn triangles didn't look like triangles. But they are similar!

I'm learning to code Scratch, even as I facilitate a class where the students are learning it as well. I doodled this Christmas tree so I could make an animated of a tree dancing around.

This is a learner's version of it, not a professional version. That is to say, the animation and music synch up sometimes, but it could synch up a lot more.

Dancing Xmas Tree.

Beginning of a new season. Hopefully, there will be more updates in the next 9 days!

The thought of those updates obviously horrifies Michele.

Problems

It's good when you can pinpoint what your problem is. Or "problems are".

My problem is limited amounts of time. More to do at work and longer tirips home eat away at the time I have to do other things. And one problem I have is that I'm accumulating "other things".

I didn't realize that two weeks had gotten away from me since the last update.

From numbskull to numberskull.

Mo' has a partner named Les. Curly has a near clone called Curly Open.

This has been a trip inside my head.

Another voice from the Peanut gallery!

Considering the first comics that I ever drew were Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the gang back in third or fourth grade, I had to commemorate this occasion. I used to have notebooks filled with my own little stories and I got really good at drawing most of the characters popular at the time (and earlier, because my older brothers had older books).

If I had any problem, it was that they were too tall. I'd start them from the top, too high above the ground. (I drew the ground first. I don't know why.) No one explained the concept of "three heads tall" until, oh, college or after. Then it sort of clicked, but I was doing other things by then. Like Super-Stick-Man!

This isn't my first Peanuts-oriented comic, by the way. Anyone remember the first one?

Sometimes you have to wear your altitudes on the outside.

That's about it. I haven't constructed any other puns from this.

Got Math?

I used the Math: Not Even Once in this comic, but I used it once before (many years ago) to criticize an unconstitutional soft drink limit law.

I guess the Island boys have transferred. They're too good to leave in the dustbin of history -- especially when they've been published in university level textbooks about logic, which they are lacking in.

It seems the most natural thing that in a world of Shapes, there would be a trapezoid ruler and keystone cops.

Yeah, I'll probably get them a new street to patrol somewhere down the line.

Circular Primes

(Click on the comic if you can't see the full image.)
(C)Copyright 2022, C. Burke. "AnthroNumerics" is a trademark of Christopher J. Burke and (x, why?).

Maybe I've come full circle. Maybe you saw what others saw a few days ago.

Welcome to Comic #1900. I usually try to make extra effort for the comics ending in 00, but it's been harder for find time to make the effort for regular comics. And for some time, I've been thinking about the year 1900 as a concept for the comic. But, honestly, while things did happen in that year, nothing spectacular popped out at me. Nothing about that year, other than being the last of the 19th century, came to mind.

And then the Calendar problem that I signed up for last month came along. I intended to rework it into a comic, but after four days (six actually, it was submitted before the 13th), I pretty much gave up and decided to use it as is.

The good news is that I can do anything I want for comic 1901. A mini with shapes, a comic with ANTHRO-Numerics(tm), or just teachers or family talking.

And in the back of my mind, I know that Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming, and I really want to enjoy those.

Ageless

(C)Copyright 2022, C. Burke. "AnthroNumerics" is a trademark of Christopher J. Burke and (x, why?).

After 15 years, coming up with new set theory or Venn diagram jokes gets difficult. Granted, it's not like anyone is reading through all the old comics.

I guess I should be thankful that I only started the comics 15 years ago, or I might've need double the amount!

And, yes, temporal status is still in effect. TV shows up us that child actors grow out of their parts long before all the good stories are told. And the replacement casts just never catch on the same way.
