Ahh, that makes sense.

Sure, but I'd start calling him -1.

I said I, not i.

And just for Zeke, because he liked my currant squares so much...

= <-- in chemistry, this is a double bond, which consists of a sigma bond and a pi bond.

Mmmm, pie bondage.

No groan for my fiendishly brilliant chemistry/B5 crossover joke? Alas. I'm familiar with sigma and pi bonds (so named because they involve s and p orbitals respectively), but to my amazement, I realize now that I never considered the pun potential. Too many already in math, I guess.

Uh, yeah...

Stuff like that is precisely why I prefer Bob and George for my webcomic needs. Do people really tune in everyday to watch cut-and-pasted dinosaurs spout nonsense?

That wasn't chemistry, that was physics. Well, OK, electrochemistry, but the one or two labs I did on it were more concerned with cell potential than current.

I did get it, though (for once). I was too impressed by all the levels (most of which have already been explored elsewhere, but never mind) to throw things at you.

Dinosaur Comics is pretty much the most intellectual webcomic I can think of. Sometimes the jokes are off the wall and non sequitur. Usually, the comic speaks of all sorts of philosophical and scientific topics that you will pretty much never see references in any piece of humor anywhere else. Yet are infinitely interesting.

Generally, it's a mix of the two.

The most intellectual webcomic...

For me, that's Kid Radd. Existentialism out the wazoo!
