Hi

That's been my feeling...it doesn't have the charm it used to have and the storylines seem like they're getting more and more outrageous.
I kinda like the new one
. It reminds me a lot of Calvin and Hobbes.
Of course for Calvin it would be aliens instead of insurgents but whatever.
The comic needs to get back to strips like this. Not like it's been lately.
X-Men X-Pert, my blog where I talk about X-Men comics.
I agree.
Hi
Today's is going to piss some people off.
Why? Because of spanking?
Hi
Yup...I think we've seen Ye Thuza spanking Cloud before, but with the Adrian Peterson flap in the last month or so, it wouldn't surprise me if someone blew their stack over this strip, especially if they're coming to it cold. That said, given what Yuna did, I can't blame Ye Thuza at all.

Larisa sneers at your physics and biology!

Yeah...that's one of those things where the basic concept is kind of cute, but the execution is really not. Granted, it is Larisa so, maybe that's intentional?

Hi
I have to assume so...maybe it's a side effect of her medications.
I just realized that Jelena says "Do we have to through this again "

I swear, this comic got weird right after I caught up with it.
I swear, I'm only reading because I don't know any better.
I just don't know anymore, S&W.
Ooohkay, has S&W been dropping on readers and they are trying something crazy to get people back?
Because honestly, few latest strips have been... weird.
Bof, this one became easy (or now that I think of it, doable at all) as soon as I noticed 49 was a square. And four was one too. And 28 is 2*2*7...
We got too many classes on the identités remarquables not to remember them.
I didn't learn factoring until I went to community college. And even then all the instruction I got from the teacher was "you have to guess what goes here and then guess what goes there and then plug it in and see if it works" which made me angry.
What.
IIRC, We start learning about these in junior high math class.
"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."
Schools in different nations tend to have different curricula. Apparently, wherever Sandra&Woo takes place, they take it a bit slower with maths.
Kind of ruins the joke if you are from a place that speeds their maths up. Took me a while to see why solving that kind of equation would be special in any way. For a moment, I thought that she did so using such circular, illogical, yet perfectly correct method that the teacher lost all his faith in numbers. Or something like that.
Given the prior strip established that they're in "middle school", that maps nicely to "junior high", so they're on track. I think it was middle school when I got introduced to quadratic equations too... I remember accidentally learning the wrong method for solving them, trying to use FOIL when the teacher wanted "the quadratic equation", the (-b +/- sqrt(b^2-4ac)) / 2a one. Speaking of which, having a teacher show how to derive that equation was one of the prouder moments for me mathematically speaking. This equation that everyone uses without asking why, and I knew why.

I loved to solve equations back in middle school.
