What people are saying:

• “Perfect for the XKCD / Sapiens crowd — highly online nerds interested in science.”

All of the comics have links to contemporary research, sources, etc.

RL Note: I prompted most of the illustrations in Midjourney, edited them in Comic Life 3 or Photoshop, then arranged them with my written dialogue in InDesign. Thanks to readers for feedback & direction, to the internet & AI for research help, and to my cat Diego for snuggles.
