Decoherence

This comic idea felt like a good idea when I made it… It’s a good thing I drew it in under ten!

Warning Label

In the far future, a supervisor sits down with their graduate student on their first meeting.

Supervisor: “You’re about to embark on an incredible journey. You will read lots of papers, and now these warnings are attached to nearly all of them.”

Student: “Will I ever see one without a warning?”

Supervisor: “I’ll put it this way: I still haven’t.”

Domain Fight

Those astrologers know that getting the perfect domain name is the first step to appearing legitimate.

Stuffed

I can’t let any second or slide go to waste!

Code 30

Isn’t it impressive how technology is self-aware enough to tell that you’re the problem?

Dense

My favourites are when you get figures that are labeled a) through z), with a mountain-sized caption. Really makes it feel like the figure is doing a good job!
