Who Makes This?
Mike Gioia does. And my friends Jason, Alex, Theo and twin bro Anj help out. I'm 39 years old, live in New York City and have been drawing comics since high school. Check the about page for more info.

What Say You (16)
hahahah love it.
Ah, very clever. Love it. ^^
Carbon 12 is radioactively stable. They should be Carbon 14.
HAHA Carbon
Don't you hate it when the couch is too high for you to comfortably put your arm up? Ya know??
Hehehe, that's great. This is my favourite one in a few weeks. I agree with Cerebral Paul about the carbon-14 bit. As an alternative that may or may not have worked, when I first saw the title in my feedreader I thought of a lump of coal being dumped by a shiny diamond for not being attractive enough (both are largely carbon).
I had to think too much to get this one. And it's so late >_< Great comic though.
Nice one! I do agree that at least one of them could have been a different isotope. Especially if the male was the unstable C14 since that would explain having a half-life. However, I admit that is a bit nit-picky - I might just be a nerd - and not necessary for the joke!
Also, great mouse-over text. Now I know that Carbon Dioxide comes from dejected Carbons and loose Oxygens!
Should have been: "over the past 5,730 years..."
Isotopes screwed me on the AP Chem test and they screwed me here... i had to google search carbon 14. i actually saw 14 on some of them when i was looking up carbon on periodic tables last night and had no idea why it was 14 haha.
anyway, i think that's a good subtle joke, i'll throw it on there tonight when i get home.
Should have been the girl as C-14, looking all disheveled and "unstable" saying after 5730 years I'm living a half life. Keep the guy as C-12, stable :)
The creepy thing is the geological researcher peering at them from the window. Science has no respect for privacy.
i have just read your entire website from start to finish, and can't imagine a more enjoyable way to have spent the afternoon. granted, i live on an island which pretty much shuts down in the winter, so my options are limited, but even so....
that having been said, i'm not sure whether this is a tribute to your clever comic-itude, or a sad testament to the utter solitude of my current existence, but either way....thank god for stumbleupon.com
hehe good comedy. That female carbon atom has nice electrons!
It's a cute joke and all, but if you're going to do a nerdy joke, the nit-picky stuff *does* have to be right, it's what makes a nerdy joke beautiful. Some kind of double-bond joke would've been nice, but I guess that'd work better if they were in a Hydrogen orgy.
I guess he won't think of two times a half makes an A
