A web comic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.
Scene: Two stick figures stand facing each other. The left stick figure has one foot on a small brown pile of rock and earth and holds a red and yellow flame in the left hand and a wave of blue water in the right. Gray lines indicating wind or air flow past the figure’s waist. A blue arrow tattoo runs over the top of the figure’s head, stopping with the point in the center of his forehead. The stick figure on the right has a long white beard and a fringe of white hair at the back of his head.
Person One: “I am the Avatar, master of all four elements!”
Person Two: “Really? I am Mendeleev, master of all 118+.” (Swoosh sound effect) “That was polonium-bending.–You probably didn’t feel anything, but the symptoms of radiation poisoning will set in shortly.”
Hover text: Of all the nations, the armies of the ununoctium-benders are probably the least intimidating. The xenon-benders come close, but their flickery signs are at least effective for propaganda.
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).
