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?

We decided upon the comic book format for a number of reasons. For starters, the humble comic book has stood the “test of time”. Before the 24 hour cartoon network was even thought of, children would huddle, under their blankets, late at night, comic and flashlight in hand, and read about their favorite “hero”. Comic books are an ideal visual learning tool, very portable, requiring no additional attachments or electricity, or 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.

When our hero was young, he lost his mother, and had a rather problematic childhood in many respects. While on a trip that his father hoped would encourage and motivate his son, he got shipwrecked on an island. It was on this island that he found his love of math and other subjects. He used this knowledge to solve the various problems that the island threw his way. In many ways, the island showed him practical applications of math.

When he eventually made his way back to civilization, he pursued his math education on a more formal level eventually earning a PhD in Mathematics at a prestigious university. Using his math abilities he was able to acquire great wealth, and answer a calling in his life…to use math 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…
