A web comic of romance,
sarcasm, math, and language.
Panel One: Drawing of a stick figure with a bruised face, holding a large sword. The stick figure is leaning back in surprise and looking at a box that seems to be floating in air in a beam of light. A voice from off panel emanates from above the figure’s head.
Voice: For saving my kingdom, I give you a gift of great power.
Panel Two: Similar to Panel One, but the figure has set the sword aside and is reaching toward the box. The lid has come off the box.
Voice: These magic shoes enable the wearer to outrun Death itself.
Panel Three: Close up of the stick figure examining the shoes, which look very like Vibram Five Finger toe shoes.
Stick Figure Person: Whoa, wait. They have those creepy individual toes.
Panel Four: Similar to Panel Two, but the stick figure has one hand to the face in a thinking pose. The shoes are back in the box with the toe tips sticking out over the edge.
Voice: But they make you immortal.
Stick Figure Person: . . .I have to think about this.
Hover text: I *do* hear that they’re the most comfortable thing to wear on your feet since sliced bread.
Warning: This comic occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors).
