(Jon sez:) 
You can tell it's the future because the trucks don't have ugly logos
all over them (perhaps they're accessible via some sort of ubiquitous
computing environment), and because the distances in this American city
are marked in kilometers rather than miles.
We recently were asked by a reader if he could use MoS as part of teaching a class of seventh graders about the social dynamics of the web. He wanted to use the comic as an example of a group mind. Therefore, A Miracle of Science is pedagogically approved!* It's acceptable for teaching any child between the ages of two and fifteen.** Reading the archives twice is acceptable in place of the American SAT or British O-levels.***
* No. |

So, here's the big announcement. Next A Miracle of Science will be on Monday, May 9, as one might expect. However, after that, we will be going on hiatus until Thursday, June 2. "What? Why?" you may cry out. Well... I don't feel quite comfortable laying it out in this space. I figure people come to a comic for a comic, not personal blabbering. However, if you click on the friendly picture of Dr. Radium over at the top of this column it will bring you to my LiveJournal where I lay out what's going on (or will as soon as I write the entry.) If you're disinclined to do that, then let's just say it's a very good reason. In other news, this excites me. Kristofer Straub is one of the most talented artist/writers in webcomics and I can't wait to see what this new project is all about. |
