When we started our web site featuring math comic strips, we wanted to offer a way to help teach mathematics to children. In this digital age of massive distractions, such as video games and television, we knew that we would have our work cut out for us. To many children math is complicated and boring and too much like "work." We needed a way to make learning math fun.
We chose the vehicle of a comic book for a number of reasons. For starters, comic books have stood the test of time. Long before the digital age of the 24 hour cartoon network, children would be huddled under their blankets, with comic book and flashlight in hand. A very visual learning tool, it is also portable, requiring no electricity or attachments or even, strange as it may sound these days, an Internet connection.
Our flagship item, we are happy to announce, will be published soon. It is an educational math comic called "The Innovative Dr. Knowledge." Dr. Knowledge is not a classic "Super Hero"...he is not from another planet and has not been bitten by an insect. Having said this, he does have some incredible math skills. He was able to acquire these skills by doing his math homework and studying other subjects over the years. He is able to utilize these skills by solving some incredible crimes and problems, and our hope is that children around the world will follow his adventures and become motivated to study into this world of math.
When Bobby was a young boy, he lost his mother. He was bullied at school and had a rather difficult childhood in many respects. His father decided that he would take his son on a trip to try to encourage and motivate him. As fate would have it, Bobby ended up on an island, by himself. He had to learn how to fend for himself, and it was on this island that he found he had a love for math. He needed these math skills to resolve all the problems that the island was going to throw his way.
Bobby was eventually rescued, and made his way back to the "civilized world." He pursued a more formal education in math, and eventually earned his PhD in mathematics at a very prestigious university. His math skills helped him to acquire great wealth. He was also able to use these math skills to solve crimes and problems, and make the world a better place.
Our sincere desire is that you will enjoy reading our comic, "The Innovative Dr. Knowledge." Please join us in helping to promote math education to our nation's children. They are going to need math skills in order to compete for the jobs of the future. Math comic strips may never be the same again...
