“A university student decided to depart from Earth after their graduation...”
Hmm, that sounds about right.
Spring has sprung and the academic nuts are full grown (and ready to be harvested)! The nuttiest display of academia is back, for this year’s edition of Weird Writeups Seen Around Campus!
A comic from April this year that’s been lying in draft for months. I guess even the thought of the pandemic was a bit stressful to publish back then. It’s the essence of life now! It’s everything we’ve never had and now everything we have!
… but here’s the comic, in its full mediocre glory.
Drawn digitally, a first for me, in a year of firsts, so it’s fitting.
Wash your hands, wear a…
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Calculus
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Algebra
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Theorem
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Analysis
Harry Potter and the Order of Operations
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Statistician
Harry Potter and the Deathly Algorithms
OH MY FUCKING GOD
AND THE ORDER OF OPERATIONS
I’m in Dumbledores math club…
More like Harry Hypotternuse.
You’re a mathemagician, Harry.
YES BUT what if the Philosopher’s problem was just… the dining philosophers’ problem??
Harry Potter and the Dining Philosophers’ Problem
5 wizards and witches sit around a circular table, staring tensely at each other. Their wands sit idly by their sides. There’s a spark in the air, and it’s not coming from the wands.
At the centre of the table is a wobbly, enchanted food. A wizard would need the power of two wands to tame the wibbling, wobbling, snarling jelly. Each grips their own wand gingerly, waiting for the other to let their guard down to grab a second wand.
These wizards are in deadlock.
The Dev-il was a programmer.
Oooh, hack the Linux kernel? I wonder who’s teaching us these forbidden, spicy secrets?
Oh.
Linux kernel teaches you how to hack it, and other hacks in the programming and academic industry at large, are but weekly features on this humble blog of mine. Another week, another exhibit of what I like to call,
Weird Writeups Seen Around Campus!
Get in. This choo choo’s going for weeks.
“If a wait is not performed, then terminated the child remains in a "zombie" state”
If you don’t follow the rituals, you get zombies
“Note that a parent needs to know the identities of its children if it is to terminate them.“
Yikes, computer pioneers had no tact at all eh
Big yikes, small yikes, and academic Yikes all coalesce here. Welcome to Weird Writeups Seen Around Campus: Shit Academia Says (with no context).
This is a weekly dive into the dump, so join me. It smells like college students in here.
Week 4! Give it up for week 4 of weird write ups seen around campus, the autumn semester!
This week’s weird writeup seen around campus, courtesy my friend, titled “Kids should not be allowed to spell”
Week 3 of the autumn semester, give it up for weird writeups seen around campus, the social distant version!
It’s been so long since I last went out that I think I might actually be on the verge of runnng out of chocolate. This is not a feat to be taken lightly, not in the household of someone who threw out chocolate from their freezer that had expired in 2011, in 2015.
This is just my life as a performer, isn’t it
2020: when the news reads like an SNL script.
Let’s do it again, this time with feeling

The System is inclusive. It doesn’t judge. It gives you space, and doesn’t back down. It doesn’t give in to peer pressure.
Be like the System.
Out of context academia at its finest, now cozily nestled into its new homeplace, electronic print media.
10 weeks and running (for their lives) now, here’s to the best of wacky out of context academic sayings.
Week 11! Give it up for week 10 of weird writeups seen around campus!
(I’m sorry, I got lazy and completely skipped Week 10 I think... I don’t even remember now, my bad :[ )
The rest of the world:
Sunshine and rainbows
England:
We’ll take the sunshine mate, you can keep the rainbows.
Ah, how currency has changed since those simple times.
Some change changes, some doesn’t, but academia has remained the same for centuries: wild, nutty, with or without context. Join me every week as I try and provide you more insight into... well, just plain ol’ confusion, sometimes academics just screaming into the void, as observed undisturbed, in their natural habitat: texts, lectures, institutions.
Week 11! Give it up for week 11 of weird writeups seen around campus!
Here’s a draft of a little comic I plan on prettying up soon after finals, when I have nothing but time.
I’m trying a new, almost agile-like approach to comic writing. Since I’ve got nearly hundreds of completed comics and a few more first-draft comics that I cannot muster up the energy to write a caption and summary for over on my WordPress, I’m going to try and push out a few of these with minimum captions and writeups, just to get the ball rolling again.
I have so many I want to share!
Anyway, I hope you like this one, because I really am convinced this is how kids function. I have cracked the kid code. If you’d like to look at the ones already published with a nice title and story from when I wasn’t braindead, they’re all on my WordPress at originofthepitchforks!
Me, for sleeping during finals season
(and alternately not sleeping all night)
