Comic strip TAM

Ha, that is fantastic. I especially like how the contingent of bald guys with glasses is represented.

Seriously though, can you really write down TAM as a tax deduction if you can somehow figure out how to make it work-related?
Just curious ...

Sure. If you're a syndicated cartoonist then expenses in the process of getting ideas for your cartoons are work related. (My attorney insists that I state that I am NOT a cartoonist, NOT a tax advisor, NOT employed by the IRS, and any statements I make herein are strictly for entertainment purposes and not to be construed as professional tax advice.) Can't be too careful.......

I'm calling shenanigans on your Forum Name, Crayola. It's short one "L."

I could actually use my full first and last names anagrammed, but the result would be "Brain dead." Cuts too close to the bone, and not the image I'm going for.

Anyway, I dig the comic. Nice work!

If you come to more TAMs, you'll get even more material for your strip.

I enjoyed it as well, though for the life of me, I can't recall what it had to do with Skepticism... :confused:

Every year there are presentations that are more science than skepticism (e.g. Carolyn Porco at TAM 4). It's fine with me, at least I learn something new. It was more informative than finding out Penn is circumsized.

More evidence that one pretty much has to be crazy to become a cartoonist... ;)

I foresee a future in Mexican wrestling.

(translated from Spanish, or never translated into Spanish in the first place) And in the left corner, the opponent who will never settle for a draw, and who proves that even though the pen may not be mightier than the sword, it'll still hurt to get it where the sun doesn't shine...

It's EEEEEEEELLLLL CRAYOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
 
That was awesome.


Yeah, that's right...I said, "awesome".
I grew up in the 80's, what do you want?
 
...the scream body looks like a scrotum.
Sorry, I just had to point that out.
I was expecting Tobias to do that, but apparently he's not here at the moment.
But yes, that is an awesome comic.

i could be L Crayola, but that's too masculine.




that'd be nice. the title of next week's is "Telepathetic".

10 down, 40 to go.

Ha - Nice! I use the word "telepathetic" all the time. Good choice.

(I knew I should have copyrighted it...I could have gotten me a piece of that lucrative syndicated columnist pie!)
 
Dammit! She cut me off the panel!

Oh well, I'll just claim I was one fo the white, bald, middle-aged guys on Randi's right.
 
Hello Mr. Plait! -- i enjoyed your talk very much.

i hated to do it -- one more bald man with glasses would have fulfilled the rule of threes.

send me a bad astronomy story, and you can star in your own strip...!

(always trolling for material, like a slowly flapping manta ray in a current of plankton and thingamabobs.)
 
Excellent comic! Neil Gershenfeld was definately the surprise hit of TAM5!

Are there any more convention 'toons where that came from?

I agree with RSLancastr
It was off topic, but still pretty interesting.

Well, I guess it only had something to do with science and education.... not that such things matter to skeptics, I guess... :rolleyes:
