Interesting Times

is a journal comic by Nathan Fehr and is updated Monday through Thursday nights. The "Personal Favorites" category highlights some of what I think is my best work, but you're free to dig in however you please.

The last panel is a shout-out to a different thing I don’t understand but that I actually like; a meme where you take pictures of shiba inu dogs and put random comic sans things on them. Computer science. Physics. Or make your own. [ January 22, 2013]
