By the numbers

Have a safe and happy Pi Day. Don’t do anything irrational. Or should we?
 

Sketchbook: Rounding it up

This is another one that's drawn from real life experiences. I've mentioned before that I work with engineers. Accuracy is paramount with them. It gets a little uncomfortable when I tell them that it's OK to round numbers up or down so they make more sense to the public.

Balance to the Force

The Powers That Be (my family, mostly) have limited me to one of these alphabet gags per year, and that only during my self-proclaimed Geek Week.

Until next year!

Sketchbook: Pi for everyone!

Happy Pi Day! I thought it would be appropriate to share not just one, not just two, but 3.14* sketches today!

Have an amazing Pi Day: celebrate wisely.

*Or an approximation thereof...

The year in review: Top Ten, part I

...and here they are, the first half of this year's Top Ten! Enjoy, and have a safe and happy New Year's Eve!

No. 10
There was a specific demographic — math teachers — who really liked this cartoon.

No. 9
Somebody knows who their customers are!

No. 8
This is another one that found a peculiar audience of its own...

No. 7
Not all of the favorites were fun ones, but I had to pay respects to one of my childhood heroes.

No. 6
There's something to be said for being a modern-day pioneer. Thanks to Mary S. for this idea!

Tomorrow: the rest of the Top Ten!

It's Pi Day (approximately)

I always preferred 22 divided by 7 because it was a lot easier for me to remember than 3.141592...

It's all about the base

...and that's what Pi Day is all about, Charlie Brown!

Sharing the fruits of the labors

I promise this is the last Pi Day joke...this year.

Of course, that means I have another year to think up more!

More Geek Week

I couldn't fit all the Pi Day cartoons into one day (that would just be wrong!), so here's another as we continue our celebration of Geek Week.

This one has a slight "think about it" pause. I'm sorry!

Pi Day!

Yes, it's Geek Week once again! Geek Week corresponds (more or less) with Pi Day, or 3.14 as some prefer to call it. (It may just be me, but does anyone else find it an unnerving coincidence that Geek Week follows hot on the trail of the bullying series from Zarahemla Times?)

Be that as it me, let's kick off our celebration of Geek Week with our first nerdy cartoon!

So, what is Fibonacci? Find out here.

Life of Pi

Happy Pi Day! Go celebrate and buy yourself a pie...or two! Or wait until July 22 and celebrate Approximation Day. Either way, enjoy!

That's irrational!

Happy Pi Day, or 3.14 as some may know it. It's a celebration for geeks and nerds throughout the world -- but the TRUE math geeks will tell you that we should hold off celebrating until June 28, because 2 pi is much more useful. Celebrate the day with pizza and a fruit pastry -- or a food fight!
