Great comic, but this line is quite simply the best part
of the whole thing! :>

Especially if you are going to 'expose' yourself.

Damn, that means I'm another of the unfortunate web comic
artists to suffer from the Tycho syndrome. Too many web
comiclers write comments that are funnier than their strips.
I just hope they'll find a cure soon.

I think it's a guy killing someone else for his beliefs
(which were probably established some time around 0 AD).

No chance this is a reference to Dr. Michael Spivak? We used
one of his books in differetial geometry class. The cover has
this curvy thing with holes in it (I assume a manifold of
some type) on it. I'm working on homework one day and my niece says
"what's this?" and points out the nose of a yellow pig poking out of
one of the holes. The rear-end is poking out another. In the index
is a reference to "pig, yellow, pg. 590" tho there is no yellow pig
on that page...

And there's the Diff Geo <=> General Relativity <=> time travel thing.

Anyway, if it's not, it should be :-)

Thus proving beyond all doubt that Joaquim is the master of extremely
small ascii.  You sure you weren't involved in making the game
"Lemmings"?  That started out as a miniproject to see how small you
could make an animated sprite...  :o)
