Today's strip is by Chris Burke of (x, why?). This strip completes the trio of "geeky science/maths comics" whose authors agreed to make guest strips for me. (I did ask Randall Munroe as well, if you were wondering.)

Anyway, (x, why?) is another great source of mathematics humour. There can never be enough! What the world really needs is an uncountably infinite number of maths comics*.

About this strip, Chris writes:

Remember the lines are only illusions. (Yeah, that's the ticket.) But you have to admit, having bumps on a plane would add another dimension to the place.

* Reader G. Vaughan writes: "That's the way to keep it real, at least if you believe in the continuum hypothesis."
