When I'm bored, I make comics. Occasionally, they're even funny. How about that! If you are in the mood for an archive binge, I suggest starting around comic #50 (or #30 if you stick to the recurring theme items like "Songs In 3 Panels"); the first #1-29 are mostly exposition, bad puns, and me futzing around with the interface.

MY HOBBY: Making unorthodox math- themed requests of store clerks, to pretend I'm Randall Munroe of XKCD.


	Hi there! Welcome to Target-Mart. what can I help you with today?


	Yes, I'd like a Klein bottle of your finest champagne, and a pair of Moebius boxers, post-haste!


	Can I get anything else for you, sir?


	Five sevenths of a pound of ham, four ninths of a pound of turkey, and 23/37 a pound of pepperoni salami, cut into the shape of a torus.


	Your total comes to $7.92; will that be cash or credit?


	Just to make the math simpler, here's $23.17. If you can't figure it out, I'll write it as a recursive function on a napkin for you as a study aid!
