So, I had a pretty funny experience today. When my Math C30 (pre-calculus) students walked in today, one of them held something behind her back and told me she was about to change the way I looked at the world. I was speechless. She then produced a comic book. It’s called “The Add-ventures of MathMan”, and I’m the main character. They were creating this in their spare for the last month or so. Unbelievable. They gave me a nice laminated hard copy, but also threw it up on the web here:

My favorite bit:
Evil villain Theta: “But how did you escape?”
MathMan: “I shrunk one side of the triangle so the sum of the two smaller sides wasn’t greater than the third side. The triangle ceased to exist!!”
Sometimes, being a teacher is a lot of fun.
P.S. Whenever you guys read this — thanks. You made my day.
Dan, this is SO great!! What a tribute to you. You have obviously made a great impression on your students – congrats!

It’d be good for Friday, I laughed pretty hard.
