More Learning
I hope you are finding this series educational. This comic is of course a tall tale about Po-Chang's famous aphorism about riding oxen. Paul Bunyan says: "When hungry, eat; when tired, sleep."
How tall a tall tale? As tall as the Buddha!
This comic is in the following storylines:
- Variations
A long-running series, maybe the crux of the site. Reader submits a suggestion, and I draw three comics based on that suggestion. Originally all three had to start the same, but it evolved. - Do Learning With Comics
This really deserves to be an ongoing series where I inform you about interesting facts in an entertaining way. There is seriously nothing I like better; just ask anyone who's been at a party with me.
