Knute: "UGH! I hate those kinds of tests!!" Crystal: "Algebra? What's wrong with Algebra?" Knute: "I'll tell you what's wrong: It has letters in it! I mean, Q+7+R=x?? What the heck are letters doing in math problems? It's not like we don't have enough numbers. Hello! We have, like, infinite numbers! Why do we need to add letters?!" Knute: "I say, leave letters where they belong - in English class! Letters and numbers are different things! Keep 'em APART!" Crystal: "So things that are different shouldn't be together, huh?" Knute: "UGH! I hate these kinds of tests!!"

Oooooh, you set yourself up for that one, Knute.
luckylouie about 13 years ago
Shot yourself in the foot, Knute.

Ooh! Love Crystal’s frosty, purple-prose put-down! Sorry, Knute. You lose.

All names end with a K

He’s going to be walking down the hall all alone, wondering what happened. LOL Some different things go together VERY nicely.
ajnotales about 13 years ago
Yep – shot himself in the foot, put that foot in his mouth, and stuck his head up his butt – a solo triple-play!

Although the strip is great, sometimes the comments are funnier than the strip!

I knew that James Bond was 007 but I did not realize that Q had a number as well!
Doctor11 about 13 years ago
I’m not a big fan of math, but Knute DID walk right into that one.

Thank God someone gets it. “Beatniks”? “hippies”? Sheesh.
Greg’s obviously using Stoner Travis’s look from “Clueless” as the template but that look is dated now. But it’s probably the most accurate high-school look other than geek) that Greg shows (his Goth look for Crystal is sorta half-assed).

Crystal, ever so wise.

Crystal’s speech balloon is blue – think this may be a warning that she is a little put off with Knute’s opinions? Then on the other hand, maybe it goes with her colors like Knute’s yellow balloon goes with HIS colors. Or maybe blue and yellow are opposite and together they make … GREEN!
`GO GUYS!

good sunday morning laugh. my memories of a hated algebra class returned.
Kirk Sinclair about 13 years ago
@imbaldeagle – step back and see that the colored speech balloons go with each character’s outfits. It’s to underscore the strip’s punchline.
farwingedselene about 13 years ago
Jesus, I hate it when people do this! The ‘a’ does not stand for the sound ‘ah’, it’s just a symbol that represents a variable. It is very much like a number.I hate knute right now.
marvee about 13 years ago
Reminds me of a girl in my h.s. algebra class.Knute isn’t clueless. He just spoke before he thought. He now realizes he has walked into another test. He can still pull this off like in the McDonald’s commercials.

Dude, people like Knute don’t take analytical geometry. People like Knute usually play football instead!!!
Tinyman22 about 13 years ago
I always liked math but as soon as you graduate school you gonna forget everything about algebra unless you keep the math books from school. I remember going through math class with algebra and some geometry but I forgot most of it. :S

Did anyone else notice that Crystal is pregnant?

Funny, he doesn’t look Jewish.
thewoodman1 about 13 years ago
wow, all this chatter for a comic…
Chuck373 about 13 years ago
Poor Knute. Remember to analyze everything you say around a woman, because even if you don’t, she will.
RH3 about 13 years ago
It doesn’t matter what you say, Knute. Girls can find a way to twist it and use it against you.
Nicolesdiamond about 13 years ago
Haha, this was a great strip, Greg. :D
TheDOCTOR about 13 years ago
Great strip, Great T Shirt, and Knute, if you’re ever stuck in a situation like that again…. Just tell her “I Love You”.

ladyfinger: You can handle a five minute conversation going two weeks, but not a couple days out of sync with the calendar? Cartoon conventions (and I don’t mean where people travel to dress up like characters).
firedome about 13 years ago
no one would’ve dressed like this in 1972. knute’s dressed more like 1995.
