Grad-student yuks

I think, perhaps, you are the last person to hear about Jorge Cham's great strip. Every PhD student I know reads it faithfully.

Then again, I only actually know the PhD students in my discipline, which makes for a pretty small group.

Yes, you.

Jorge Cham's been to MIT numerous times, most recently earlier this year. The Tech carries it. I have a signed poster of a comic of his that has since gone out of print - from 3 years ago.

How does Brainiac not know of the graduate student's only cultural touchstone?

The grad student's *only* cultural touchstone? Things are grimmer out there than I thought.

Yes, this is a grave lapse in my attempts to keep tabs on academic culture, and I will do penance -- maybe by spending an hour or two on Cham's site.
