I just discovered this webcomic last night, and laughed out loud more often than I remember doing in a long time.

It's got math! It's got linguistics! It's got crappy artwork! It's got aero-ferrets!

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).

Some favourites:
Pi Equals
Snapple
Kepler
Elephino**
Abusive Astronomy**
Su Doku
Family Circus
Computational Linguistics**

There were at least a dozen or more that made me laugh out loud, but those ones are my favourites.

(**Might not be kiddie-friendly.)

Whoa. This one reminds me of that battle in Ender's Game. One of those battles. I forget.

I still don't get that one about Poisson...maybe I've been away from math for too long.

Shouldn't that be "What Would Mobius Do"?

I don't get most (if any) of the math/science references, but the emo strips make my little heart want to explode in explodey emoness.

Edit: also, the choice in pejorative aside, this one is pretty damn hilarious.

It has been pointed out to me that if you hover your mouse over the comics, little witticisms pop up.

Now I have to go read them all again.
