This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others. I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.

You, too can earn a living with visuals.

that one’s excellent ! XD
November 26th, 2008 at 12:39 pm
Nicely done!
November 26th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
That was fantastic. It reminded me of overhearing people on the phone. Next time someone says “Where? Seriously?” I’ll jump to the thought of their grandmother.
November 26th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Fantastic! :]
November 26th, 2008 at 12:51 pm
Pure genius.
November 26th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
I need another coffee.
November 26th, 2008 at 1:39 pm
Wow you’ve really outdone yourself with this one, I love it!
November 26th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
This is perfect! I love these ones; they may take longer to read, but they’re always hilarious. Well done!
November 26th, 2008 at 1:44 pm
i’ve been reading these every single day for months and months and i can tell you that this is your finest achievement.
November 26th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
Brilliant.
November 26th, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Will you marry me? You’re wit and humor are absolutely sexy.
I LOVE these diagrams.
November 26th, 2008 at 2:00 pm
Yes, brilliant.
November 26th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Damn you… you made me look up liger, which resulted in a 1 hour follow-the-link session at wikipedia.
Thanks, I’m now much better informed about feline hybrids.
November 26th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Man, these posts are hard!
Kudos to you … very clever.
November 26th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
These diagrams are my favorite of all your posts!
November 26th, 2008 at 2:45 pm
So, so good.
November 26th, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Loved it!
Keep up the good work.
November 26th, 2008 at 2:58 pm
Magnificent! But the coffee must have brewed longer than normal!

Epic. Truely epic.
November 26th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
You’re a genius!
These diagrams are my favorites also. They’re always the most satisfying, and I always laugh out loud at them. The seven deadly sins one remains very high on my list. I think this one tops it, though.

what does “prodical” mean?
Past tense of predictable?
(Yes, I do know what was meant, and I AM being a jackass!)
All teasing aside, this one rocks!
November 26th, 2008 at 4:24 pm
brilliant!
November 26th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
This is awesome!
Thanks!
November 26th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
Simply awesome. Unlike Robert I won’t look up liger, but I’m sure if I come across one I’ll think of you. For a second.
November 26th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
I don’t know who you are, but I know you are a genius. Your diagrams are one of the things I look forward too every day. Whatever you do IRL, I bet you do outstandingly well.
November 26th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
…!!!
(This was way too awesome for words)
November 26th, 2008 at 5:08 pm
I was surprised 21 was all you could get out of seven points. I had to count the lines to make sure. Now you can do the reverse .. BA …. Or how about some triples or quads.
November 26th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
Smart, smart, smart
and very funny!
Congrats, brilliant!

Your site is a permanent fixture on my blog. Honestly, it took me a moment, but funny once I figured it out. If your drawings had been around in 10th grade, I might have passed geometry the first time around. A+++

Jessica, I’ve not been a fan for very long (but I am loyal) so this was the first 5×7 I’ve seen. I love them! Could you do more please?
People need to be educated about such important things as ligers. Or get their cult movie viewing up to date and see the brilliant Napoleon Dynamite.
November 27th, 2008 at 3:14 am
Awesome! Really smart!
Like it a lot!

Oh my god… best “web” strip to date. About half of the 21 combinations made me laugh out loud- if there’s one thing a geek loves it’s mathematical wordplay.

November 27th, 2008 at 7:57 am
I don’t understand why this is funny, brilliant, or genius…
Am I missing something? I pick 2 questions, let’s say A. Who? B. What? and then I refer to the corresponding line segment AB, which is 3 am call for bail right?
Maybe it’s because I don’t care for random humor…
November 27th, 2008 at 8:50 am

@Jeremy: I still don’t get it, too. Someone eager to explain?
November 27th, 2008 at 10:21 am
Great! - http://www.wesummerslaura.com/
November 27th, 2008 at 10:40 am
What’s not to get? One possible answer to the question “Who? What?” as represented by AB: your phone rings at 3 AM. It’s your friend Tim. He’s talking really fast about being in what sounds like “jail” and needing what sounds like “bail money”. Your first response is, “this is WHO? Tim? You need WHAT? Bail money?”
Therefore, AB = Who? What? = Tim needs bail money at 3 AM!
P.S. I got a C minus in H.S. Geometry. I SO could have used this help back then
November 27th, 2008 at 11:31 am
OK, for Jeremy and August,
for each point like A, B, C, D, we have a question.. Not the figure it self it’s what matters the most but the lines, AB, AC, BC, BD etc.
Take line CG for example: Grandma’s nipple ring.
If I’d found out my grandma has a ring pierced in her nipple this is exactly what I’d say or think:
Where????? (which is C)
Seriously???? (which is G)
What’s so brilliant is that almost every line is witty and funny and very true (Check out line CD - C Where? + D When?, CD = It’s a date!).
Hope that solves it
