Good Scientist Cartoon. 56th set of five

Cartoon 280 took me longer to produce than any other cartoon. A full three days. Remind me never to lampoon anything ever again.
I had the components within a two hours, but the positioning didn’t work.
So tried other options without success until it finally hit me that “Chanel No. 5” is yellow.

280 is also probably the funniest you’ve produced.

Agree. Move over xkcd!

(Consider name change though.. Strange Scientist maybe)

I think I must be missing something in 280.

Maybe we should have a competition for the new name.

Whimsical Scientist?

Weird Science and Dr Strange have a nice ring to them..

Wow! There’s no higher praise!

> Strange Scientist, Weird Science and Dr Strange have a nice ring to them.

There’s a book called “Weird Science”, and “Dr Strange” reminds me too much of “Dr Strangelove”.

How about “Genius vs stupidity”?

I’ve realised that the “raison d’être” for the cartoon is “pushing the boundaries between genius and stupidity”. It’s up to the reader to decide which is which. It’s not always obvious.

Weird Science and Doctor Strange are also movie titles.

Doctor Strange or Doctor Strangelove?

I like “Good Scientist” for three reasons.

One, it appears in a satiric/cynical way in the first cartoon.
Two, it allows me to talk morality.
Three, it’s a great affirmation.

Number 289 is also an ascii selfie. See it?

Great punch line in 286.

I’ll have to work on the others :)

294 – also useful in arranging wires in pre-stressing strand, and strands in pre-stressing cables.

Then how about The Big Swinging Scientist?

That’s an excellent point.

Swinging means partner swapping?!

Good Scientist Cartoon. 60th set of five. Plus a bonus cartoon solely for pure mathematicians.

Like the street signs.

Maybe, but I think he was probably referring to the little gender indicator on your male figures.

Reminds me of a large sign on a construction access road:

SLOW
WORKERS
AHEAD

But, one was left out:

“Roadworks ahead.
Not really, just a few traffic cones off to one side
No sign of work, workers, or equipment
But you’d better slow down anyway.”

… to 40 or less, or we’ll fine you.
… maybe.

…depending on whether there’s a copper around, and what mood he’s in.

You’re right!
How to fit all that on a street sign?

> SLOW WORKERS AHEAD

LOL. Yes.
