Irregular Webcomic! #1417 Monty: So what happened after you and Erwin jumped from the zeppelin? / Ginny: We didn't find the orichalcum - it's as good as lost.

What do you write? / Will: Stirring tragic plays highlighting the eternal dilemmas and conflicts of the human condition.

Irregular Webcomic! #1419 Serron: As he's a junior member of the crew, I vote Quercus gets a reduced share of the profits from this trip. / Paris: But without him, we all would have died! / Serron: Exactly! Either we're all dead, or he gets a reduced share! He gets more this way!
Irregular Webcomic! #1420 Me: [[writing equations on a whiteboard, in front of a group of people]] Divergence of the electric field is charge density on epsilon-zero. Divergence of magnetic field is, however, zero, meaning there are no magnetic monopoles. / Me: Curl of the electric field is minus the rate of change of magnetic field, while curl of the magnetic field is mu-zero times current density... / Me: ... plus the all-important displacement current term, which gives rise to the propagation of light! So... what do you think of that as an idea for a comic? / Audience member: It's a bit formulaic.

Irregular Webcomic! #1424 Terry: [[reading a book on the flight]] This says the Tibetan name for the yeti is "migou", which Lovecraft rendered as "Mi-go" in his 1930 story The Whisperer in Darkness. / Terry: He describes the "Abominable Snow-Men" of the Himalaya as pinkish things with crustaceous bodies, membranous wings, and a convoluted ellipsoid where a head should be. / Terry: These fungoid abominations extract living brains and come from the "dark planet Yuggoth", which he identifies as the then newly discovered planet Pluto... / Steve: Crikey! We better be careful. That "Pluto is a planet" crowd can get stroppy!
Irregular Webcomic! #1425 Prof. Jones: For some reason this reminds me of the time your mother and I were excavating near the Step Pyramid of Djoser. / Prof. Jones: The artefacts we unearthed were very exciting.

The friends who I showed #1 to and they said, "Ha! Make another one!" / Me: Then the ones who posted links on their sites and pulled in a few more readers.
