FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Math Hipsters" published September 24, 2017 - Jason says: You're using a calculator? Pshaw! Eileen says: What's wrong with using a calculator? Jason says: Nothing, if you're lame. Calculators just spit out answers! There's no craft! No art! No journey to savor! Plus they're digital, so they can only approximate some values. As a result, I bet there are people out there who actually believe Pi equals 3.14159265. That's why for my problem-solving money, nothing beats a slide rule. Eileen says: Math hipsters are so annoying. Jason says: Just look at these analog square roots! Marcus says: You're using a slide rule? Pshaw!

FoxTrot by Bill Amend - "Problematic" published April 23, 2017 - Paige says: "Mary Lou has a difficult math assignment with 10 questions she has no idea how to solve." "She asks her little brother for help, but there is a 50-percent chance with each question that he will deliberately give her the wrong answer." "What is the probability of Mary Lou receiving a passing grade of 60 percent or better on the assignment?" Paige says: Finally, a problem I can relate to. Jason says: 100 percent. Next?
