Studying calculus his difficult; you have to fight and kill iron golems, or read many scrolls of punishment, until you have enough iron chains to write your equations with.

I guess this is why that horizontal bar is called the 'vinculum'.

Is it some pun on calculus being inaccessible?

There's a certain feeling going into the archive and look back at old submitted comics (mineMade by Dwarfs. The Rule here is that the Mine is either long deserted or at most is inhabited by a few survivors who will make confused claims to have been driven out/decimated by humans/ other Dwarfs/Minions of the Dark Lord. Inhabited or not, this Mine will be very complex, with many levels of galleries, beautifully carved and engineered. What was being mined here is not always evident, but at least some of the time it will appear to have been Jewels, since it is customary to find unwanted emeralds, etc., still embedded in the rock of the walls. Metal will also be present, but only when made up into armor and weapons (_wondrous_).

Now they look lame but ok, maybe two wereIn 1573, the Parliament of Dole published a decree, permitting the inhabitants of the Franche-Comte to pursue and kill a were-wolf or loup-garou, which infested that province, "notwithstanding the existing laws concerning the chase." The people were empowered to "assemble with javelins, halberds, pikes, arquebuses and clubs, to hunt and pursue the said were-wolf in all places where they could find it, and to take, burn, and kill it, without incurring any fine or other penalty." The hunt seems to have been successful, if we may judge from the fact that the same tribunal in the following year condemned to be burned a man named Giles Garnier, who ran on all fours in the forest and fields and devoured little children, "even on Friday." The poor lycanthrope, it appears, had as slight respect for ecclesiastical feasts as the French pig, which was not restrained by any feeling of piety from eating infants on a fast day.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, if you have submitted earlier, go and check your rating, comments and so forth. Maybe you get excited and submit again? I'm kinda in a mood but since I don't play nh anymore (never have time) it's hard to just come up with "good" ideas.

Funny, I never found it that hard at school.. but now that I have forgot most of it, it WOULD take some effort to relearn. Anyway, here Dudly obviously has entered through a trapdoorI knew my Erik too well to feel at all comfortable on jumping into his house. I knew what he had made of a certain palace at Mazenderan. From being the most honest building conceivable, he soon turned it into a house of the very devil, where you could not utter a word but it was overheard or repeated by an echo. With his trap-doors the monster was responsible for endless tragedies of all kinds.

The moniker, Cursed FigurineThen it appeared in Paris at just about the time that Paris was full of Carlists who had to get out of Spain. One of them must have brought it with him, but, whoever he was, it's likely he knew nothing about its real value. It had been -- no doubt as a precaution during the Carlist trouble in Spain -- painted or enameled over to look like nothing more than a fairly interesting black statuette. And in that disguise, sir, it was, you might say, kicked around Paris for seventy years by private owners and dealers too stupid to see what it was under the skin.

My favorite calculus equation was always "the integral of e to the x equals e to the x plus a constant c".....visually, it always looked like "sex = ecstasy (extc)". Layne

Glad you guys liked it. I thought it sucked. :-) The lack of doors was an oversight, but I like that it has a secondary meaning. My favorite calc equation has always been (integral) 1/(cabin) d(cabin) = log (cabin) + C = houseboat

This comic needed to be integrated first so that I can differentiate it. Or is it just a disguised Newt(kinds of) small animal, like a lizard, which spends most of its time in the water.

What, just because there's a pair of altars side-by-side, two dogs, to spheres, and three xans?

I'm Quint Sakugarne, and I approve of this math joke. (For the record, no, I didn't write it, even though I'm using a political ad joke in my comment.)
