Last week a friend pointed me to a comic that accurately described my life for four and a half years. Piled Higher and Deeper is a PhD comic strip. After reading just a few, I couldn’t help but think, “how did I miss this for all these years?†It turns out that the comic started publishing just before I graduated and by the time it became (relatively) popular I was out of grad school. Anyway, a few of my favorite strips from the archives so far:
A spoof on Kurt Vonnegut’s graduation speech
A series on grad students as an anthropology reseach subject
Newton’s Three Laws of Graduation
Young Nicholas as a grad student
I’m only through mid-2002, so another four years to go!
