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.

The format of a comic book is ideal for a number of reasons. To begin, comics have stood the test of time. Long before there was a 24 hour cartoon network there was the humble comic. Children would be huddled under their blankets late at night, comic book and flashlight in hand. Comics are a very visual learning tool, portable, requiring no attachments or electricity, or strange as it may sound, 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 Bobby was a young boy, he lost his mother. He was bullied at school and had a rather difficult childhood in many respects. His father decided that he would take his son on a trip to try to encourage and motivate him. As fate would have it, Bobby ended up on an island, by himself. He had to learn how to fend for himself, and it was on this island that he found he had a love for math. He needed these math skills to resolve all the problems that the island was going to throw his way.

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.

We hope that you will enjoy reading our flagship comic book, “The Innovative Dr. Knowledge”. We hope that you will join us in helping to promote math to our nation’s children. Who knows, math comic strips may never be the same…
