The Mathematical Cartoons of Larry Gonick

Seymour, cloak-and-dagger mathematician!

xkcd‘s latest comic strip reminded me of this page where you can read some of Larry Gonick’s mathematics-centered comics. I discovered this artist through his book The Cartoon Guide to Statistics which might not be the most thorough text on the subject but it surely is the funniest.

    I didn’t know about Larry Gonick but his comics seems awesome, and I will try to read that book about statistics. Learning is fun, but can be funny!

    I just love xkcd, it’s really good even if you don’t know much about math (like me; I have to admit that there are some strips wich I just can’t understand).

    Nice to read you!

    Hi Sergio and thanks for stopping by,

    The book on statistics was published in Spain by Zendrera. I can lend you mine if you want although I’m going to be hard to find in real life during the next month and a half.

    I’d like to read some more comic strips similar to xkcd. Unfortunately, I’m not very knowledgeable in webcomics so if you happen to have some links I’d appreciate it.
