Some Favorite Toons

This a plug for Larry Gonick's excellent cartoon guides to various subjects. I own The Cartoon Guide to Genetics. It's hilarious, it's a joy to read, and there's actually quite a bit of information packed into 224 pages of cartoons. Very well done.

I just purchased The Cartoon Guide to Statistics. In this case, given my training, I don't expect to learn anything new, but it's an equally fun read that I think I'll wind up loaning out to friends and offering to my kids as a reference.
