Comic 1055 - Kickstarter

Kickstarter's no longer a cash cow –
It's all got to be much more flash now.
So it'd be great
If you'd all please donate
To help set up a pitch with panache. Ciao!

Limericks on the way!

Hello, readers!

I do apologise for the lack of limericks in the last week. I have been away on holiday, studying some of the more exotic fauna in the torrid zones of the world. Rest assured that I am now returned, and that companion runcible limericks for all of the XKCD comics posted in my absence will appear here very soon.

Until very soon,

Edward "Limerick" Lear

Comic 1053 - Ten Thousand

If someone’s a gap in their knowledge
Don’t sniff “Where did you go to college??”
Why not be a nice chap
and fill in the gap—
There's far more potential for LOL-age.

Comic 1052 - Every Major's Terrible

Philosophy's rigour is puny
But maths is so abstract it's looney.
A baboon could do business
And chem is just fizziness
So what am I doing at uni?

Original comic here.

Really, I ought to continue this to cover everything in the song in the comic. But I'm already late in posting. We'll see...

Comic 1051 - Visited

If your browser history stinks
You can run from the nudges and winks
You can say you were blinded
—You’re really high-minded—
But you can’t hide from those purple links.

Comic 1050 - Forgot Algebra

Play the sax, make flapjacks, or speak Spanish:
All these talents can happily vanish.
So why make maths the most-
Chosen talent to boast
That, post-school, you've decided to banish?
