Extra Ordinary Comics

IT'S A TRAP!

Shoelace is sad! :(

It's 2:49 AM over here, and this totally woke me up more than caffeine ever did! Love you, Li!

What da hell? Her cereal turned into a hammer, a staple, and a...pencil sharpener? >_>

Li, you make the goofiest comics. Love it.

I was stuck feeling a freelance writing project that was working on was too cute, too cheesy, too silly. But then I just read your comic and it brought such a smile to my face that I realize the world needs more fun and cute stories.

Thanks Li! Your comic always brightens my day...even if it means Shoelace has to be sad for it to happen.

I hated writing in Lisp for my CS course freshman year, but when we had moved on from it I missed it's elegance.

Also I HAD to count all of those parentheses. You win this time...

Nonono, the hammer was to break the lock on the diary! ..I don't know where the cereal went.

How do you annoy a LISP programmer?

(

Gah... I find myself compulsively looking for unbalanced parens (which is probably why I program in python now.

:P

(YELL Matt "Stop doing that!!")

@That Other Guy: Those are tools used to break the lock on the diary, I believe.

Jordan is a genius!! sad that you two were thwarted in your scheme tho!

Li, why is there a hammer next to you when eating cereal?

It is a hammer she used to break the lock on the diary.

Love how Jordan's decoy-diary is decorated with hearts and Shoelace. I couldn't think of a more manlier decoy.

Your meal turned into a hammer, a sharpener and a staple. O.o (Don't eat it)

Yay programmer jokes! :) What fun! You should do one bouts Shoelace writing a kitty hello world in Purr++ :)

Oooo he is sneaks.

It's not a sharpener and staple. Those are pieces of the lock - look at panel one and then panel two.

And I love this comic ^o^

Loved the comic! I swear I had almost the same exact diary when I was a kid: it had a heart-shaped lock and everything.

However: void-function decoy-diary :(

Whenever I see that many parenthesis, i think of Lisp and Scheme.

and then i regret ever programming in scheme.

Jordan's such a killjoy. He always ruins DEFUN.

(setq adorable T)

I have never commented before, but I wanted to say how much I love this comic. I have been following for about 10 months.

You're worrying about unbalanced parentheses? I'm worrying if 'decoy-diary' returns a function that when called returns a function that when called returns a function that when called ...

Dammit! Now you have to figure out where he set up the continuation.

@The One True Josh: If the pun was intended, that was just genius. :P

All the Schemers gotta stick together...

LISP strikes again!
If I had a diary, I would include pages like that just to throw people off...

- unbalanced paren in the comments) just can't help it :)

He's a geek: his real diary probably looks like this:
+++++++[>+++++++++++++.>+++++++++++<>.<>>++++++++<<>>.<<+++++.>+.+++++++.<>--<>---.----.<>+++<>.>.<+.--..<>--<>.--------.>>>++++[-]<.<.<<>+++++<>-.<>----<>.---.>.<+++++++.---.<>+++++<>.---.>.<+++++++.-----.<>-----<>+.<>+++++<>+.<>-----<>.<>+++++<>-.>.<++++++.<>-----<>.++++++.>>>>[-]++[<>-]<<-.<<<>>-----------<<>>.

Lisp programmers will know... I laughed so hard!

The hammer reminds me of the double-clawed hammer someone created to represent PHP...
