When we launched our web site featuring the best in math comic strips, one of our main goals was to offer a vehicle to teach math to children. In this world of heavy distractions, such as television and video games, we realized that we would be coming up against some heavy competition. Math is too many kids, well, boring, and too much like work. How could we possibly make learning math fun?

The format of a comic book is ideal for a number of reasons. To begin, comics have stood the test of time. Long before there was a 24 hour cartoon network there was the humble comic. Children would be huddled under their blankets late at night, comic book and flashlight in hand. Comics are a very visual learning tool, portable, requiring no attachments or electricity, or strange as it may sound, even an internet connection.

We are happy to announce that our flagship item, an educational math comic featuring "The Innovative Dr. Knowledge", is almost complete. Now Dr. Knowledge is not a "Super Hero" in the sense that he is from another planet or has been bitten by an insect or something. He's a regular guy. His "superior abilities" (if we can call them that) comes from his hard work at studying math and other subjects over the years. With these "powers" he is able to solve some fantastic crimes and problems. We are hoping that as children read and follow his adventures, they will become enchanted by the world of math, and motivated to do their own math homework in the process.

Bobby lost his mother at a young age, and had a rather difficult childhood in many respects. To make a long story short, his father decided to take him on a trip to help encourage and motivate his son. As fate would have it, he ended up on an island, and it was here that he embraced his love of math. Math helped him to solve many problems that the island presented him with, and through these adventures he was able to see the practical applications of math.

Bobby was eventually rescued, and made his way back to the "civilized world". He pursued a more formal education in math, and eventually earned his PhD in mathematics at a very prestigious university. His math skills helped him to acquire great wealth. He was also able to use these math skills to solve crimes and problems, and make the world a better place.

Our sincere desire is that you will enjoy reading our comic, "The Innovative Dr. Knowledge". Please join us in helping to promote math education to our nation's children. They are going to need math skills in order to compete for the jobs of the future. Math comic strips may never be the same again...
