   In Kurt Vonnegut’s “Slaughterhouse Five”, the main character, Billy, is transported to different places in space and time, somewhat randomly. In one alien planet, he is referred to as a “Bug trapped in amber.” I suspect this is the literary reference for the costume, and the “no time at all” reference includes the reference to him being transported in time.Frazz has used other references to Slaughterhouse Five in other strips.

   Actually, that stuff is called arithmetic, where you just are trying to learn the rules. Math should be called PUZZLES, and the rules and fancy symbols are just tricks that folks have discovered that help them solve puzzles about the universe. Real math is creative, exploratory, and adventurous in all the patterns around us. Kids hate arithmetic when taught as rote “getting the right answer”, they love math. when taught as an adventure. “Alice in Wonderland” was written by a mathematician and many of the adventures are mathematical allegories.
