I can’t tell you how much I love this comic! The only downside is that I’m sitting here chortling over how awesome Ada is, rather than writing my own steampunk novel

Oh, and please please please make the schematic of the raygun with the ‘operated by a crank’ insert into a t-shirt.

Now, go and produce more!

If c+(-c) where c = crime and crime = coercion, then -c = -coercion. -coercion = f where f = freedom. Brilliant!

Libertarianism is now proven with maths! :B

Ah, this brings back such great memories of the tale in “Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid” where Hofstadter has one character producing records that destroy the other chap’s record players. It’s actually supposed to be an analogy of Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, but I like the literal idea too!

Fabulous site. Wonderful and intelligent and a delightful diversion from my day. When will these all be collected in one glorious volume for ease of purchase?

I had been deprived of your awesomeness since my computer died back in October and have spent two splendid hours with your peerless amazingness! My new laptop has a huge hi-res screen, so the incredible amount of ‘Win’ is even more obvious…It Is Bliss.

Seriously, you’ve rescued me from serious depression brought on by the general state of the real world, and given me more bonding time with my kids, who both do that math thing with such confidence and style. And the puns! “It’s operated by a crank!” “Violins with violins!” hahahahaha!! Please don’t resist any pun that occurs to you. We need to laugh out loud as much as possible. You are a Force For Good!

I too liked Ada’s waistcoat, and I especially loved the fashion page. My degree is in Victorian history – divorce and women’s property rights to be precise, but with a fascination in costume as well. Fashion tends to reflect, in broad terms, how much power women have in any given society, and how a ‘proper lady’ is viewed by the men around her. In the 1830s one can see that women couldn’t raise their hands. Hmmm…

Congrats at the shoutout from the Times’s Eureka magazine! Alphanumerically, you’re in first place! (And here I thought this was a comics blog.) Looking forward to the hardcover graphic novel, once your movie work is over.
