Due to a family malady , Randall Munroe announced that we wo n’t be reckon regular installments of his democratic webcomic xkcd . We care Munroe and his category the best , but in the meanwhile , what ’s a maths - loving webcomic reader to do ?
Last hebdomad , Munroe harbinger that he will be focusing on his phratry for the next few months(fortunately he says everyone will be alright ) , and wo n’t be holding himself to a regular update schedule . Not one to vacate his loyal devotee , Munroe has been posting some fun odds and ends from his notebook . But if you ’re looking for more math and science - based webcomics to occupy the gap , we ’ve got a few recommendation :
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal : Like Randall Munroe , Zach Weiner looks to skill for much of his wit . When his scientist are n’t sell heroine , they ’re findingpractical USA for a macrocosm with no upper limit speedoremploying the hypothesis of relativity to keep Baron Verulam crispy . Weiner ’s sense of humor is both sillier and calamitous than Munroe ’s — witnessthe scheduling nomenclature written by 12 - yr - oldsandthe real reason doctors amputate limbs .
Abstruse Goose : Abstruse Goose is distinctly charm by xkcd with its minimalistic style and focus on math and Romance language ( the cartoonist evenreferences xkcd in an early comic ) . There are shades of xkcd inthe most forward-looking use of the Penthouse Forum , the pickup line of merchandise apace neutralized through physics , andwhat separates humans from animals . But the cartoonist also play withFar Side - expressive style jokesandwhat may be the greatest solution to a mathematics problem ever .
PHD Comics : Jorge Cham ’s comedian ( which is actually titled Piled Higher and Deeper ) follow a mathematical group of grad students on their sempiternal quest to complete their thesis and earn those doctoral degrees . When it does n’t feature cryptical thesis consultant or PhD widows , itexplains the scientific tidings cycleandexplores the physics behind the Thesis Repulsor Field .
Brown Sharpie : Actually , Courtney Gibbons no longer updates Brown Sharpie ( manifestly grad school is more fun ) . But if you have n’t take it before , Brown Sharpie has build up up a three - year archive fulfill with math jokes , anthropomorphized numbers , and truly tremendous pun . It ’s a very sweet mirthful by someone who obviously loves all things numerical .
index : Okay , so Indexed is n’t a comic in the traditional sensory faculty ; it ’s more a collection of graphical record . But Jessica Hagy ’s graphs and Venn diagram are incessantly cagy and often quite cheeky .
