Are you talking about philosophy or the committee?

And courtesy of

shweta_narayan, the webcomic that ate my life yesterday: Family Man. The Enlightenment! Judaism! University politics! Theological debates! In-jokes about Ovid! In-jokes about Rousseau! Careful research of taxonomically appropriate pine trees! Our half-Jewish protagonist just tried to defend a dissertation on Spinoza at Göttingen in 1768. The werewolves at his new lectureship are the least of his problems.

In the meantime, Kate Beaton has been reviewed by The Economist.

I am not doing anything near that interesting today. I still have this book, though.

Do you read Al'Rashad already, by the way? If not, you may wish to add it...

Thanks! I haven't even heard of it, which means very little; I read more webcomics than I think, but probably a comparably small selection. (Girl Genius, Narbonic: Director's Cut, Skin Horse, 2D Goggles, The Desert Peach, Hark! A Vagrant, xkcd and Wondermark when I remember about them, and now these two.)

YOU MUST ADD GUNNERKRIGG COURT.

Start at the beginning.

YOU MUST ADD GUNNERKRIGG COURT.

I'm reading that one in book form!

Chris Bird, Al'Rashad's writer, is a former student of mine. The comic originated as an unproduced screenplay that I remember him showing me after class.
