Coming Soon... Math Comic Strips Flagship Item: "The Innovative Dr. Knowledge"

By Matthew Smith

Our web site of math comic strips was developed for one primary reason...to offer a way to help teach math to our nation's children. In this fast-paced world of television, video games and other distractions, we knew that this would prove to be a formidable challenge. Math is complicated and boring to too many children, and well, too much like "work". We realized that we would need a way to make learning math exciting and fun.

We chose the vehicle of a comic book for a number of reasons. For starters, comic books have stood the test of time. Long before the digital age of the 24 hour cartoon network, children would be huddled under their blankets, with comic book and flashlight in hand. A very visual learning tool, it is also portable, requiring no electricity or attachments or even, strange as it may sound these days, an internet connection.

We are happy to announce that we will soon be releasing our flagship item, an educational math comic called "The Innovative Dr. Knowledge". While Dr. Knowledge is not a "Super Hero" in the classic sense of the word (he has not been bitten by an insect or arrived from another planet), he does possess some incredible math skills. He was able to acquire these skills by doing his math homework and studying other subjects as well. He is able to utilize these abilities to solve some incredible crimes and problems. Our hope is that children will become enchanted with his adventures and have their own desire to study math.

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.

Years later Bobby found himself back in the "civilized world". It was here that he pursued his love of math, and eventually acquired a PhD in math at a prestigious university. His math skills helped him to acquire great wealth. He also used these skills and abilities to solve some incredible crimes and fantastic problems. Overall, he's been making the world a better place to live in.

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...
