[Abstruse Goose is similar to xkcd, but with longer and more detailed jokes.](http://abstrusegoose.com/) Today’s comic is a [rather personal letter to a building block of the Universe](http://abstrusegoose.com/118), and a previous comic [shows us what **Mathochist** does in his free time.](http://abstrusegoose.com/105)

I love webcomics. There’s no way in hell a comic like this could survive in print.

[Interesting how similar comic 101 is to Orwell’s Room 101.](http://abstrusegoose.com/101)
