Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Lol.

I once saw a movie that was named Le Thé au harem d'Archimède.

I'm accepting this as canon.

I bet there's some kind of crazy phenomenon that happens to the bases when you do that. And there's definitely an ^(pi * i) in there.

there's always the rather trippy bailey-borwein-plouffe formula that allows you to compute any digit of pi without computing preceding decimals... but it only works in base 16.

I dont think it's pronounced the way this comic implies it is.

I think it's fr·ee·ay

Conjecture: There is a procedure for finding a place-value representation of any positive real number such that the choice of base, and perhaps a secondary representation, yields an infinite number of fours.
