A web comic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.
Panel One: Drawing of a stick figure in a small sailboat with a triangular sail. The stick figure is sitting aft, holding the tiller with one hand and a line attached to the boom with the other.
Panel Two: The sail starts to belly out with wind.
Panel Three: The stick figure has had to stand up to hold on to the line as the sail bellies out even more.
Panel Four: The stick figure is straining to hold on as the sail has stretched out almost into a balloon shape.
Panel Five: The stick figure falls back as the sail suddenly relaxes into its original shape and a lopsided bubble pops free from it.
Panel Six: The stick figure is sitting aft again, holding the lax line with one hand and scratching his head in bewilderment as the bubble floats gently upward.
Hover text: It only works a few times before you have to capsize the boat in a soap lagoon again.
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).
