Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for February 21, 2024

Medians can be mean; the passing cars are dangerously close to you.

What does you mean horsie?

I was always bad at math. I can’t remember the difference anymore between mean, median and mode. But one of them is supposed to divide things in half, so ‘60%’ wouldn’t be right, would it?

Nice distinction Horse!

Soon they’ll be Median Rare, and never Well Done!!

Except at Lake Wobegon, where all the children are above average.

If you get your news from social media, that will soon become 99%

50% of doctors graduated in the bottom half of their class

Hey! The median is that thing in the road that separates traffic! What are you tryin’ ta pull!

I like the arc of the terrain through the three panels. All right, all you math figurers, how many degrees is it?

I spoke about percentages with a friend recently. Now I can use ‘median’ instead of ‘average’. It’s still distressing.

I think I’m in the wrong class.

fully amazing we can almost understand each other

It’s already 60% below average Horace…! I no….!

I like the mode Samson used to present this..

Sometimes it does seem so, Horace…the way the political winds are blowing…☹️

“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” George Carlin

Sine wins for the best line of this strip. And I mean that!

Hmmm… we might want to recheck those numbers, Horace.
