PANEL 1
In a math classroom, A weary BillMatheson man stands at the chalkboard, drawing a half-finished equation: “11+9=?” vertically with the answer missing. A SinnimonSlush boy sits nearby in his desk.
SinnimonSlush boy
Uh... Mr. M? You gotta carry the 1.
PANEL 2
BillMatheson snaps out of it at the chalkboard and points his chalk at the SinnimonSlush boy.
BillMatheson Man
I KNOW THAT! It’s just… not ready to be carried yet.
PANEL 3
A weary BillMatheson man turns back to the board and writes a new equation “2 + 2” as the SinnimonSlush boy looks confused.
BillMatheson Man
I think all of us might prefer something less complicated.
PANEL 4
RickySpecial boy and Sinnimon Slush boy whisper to each other from their desk while BillMatheson falls asleep on the chalkboard.

Mr. M’s the one who needs carrying.

“Carry On” – Mr. Matheson’s Arithme-TIPS for December 17, 2024

After the disastrous events of last week, Mr. Matheson is doing his best to get back to normal. When bad things happen, sometimes it's helpful to get back to your routine. On the other hand, getting back to the routine also helps you avoid the problems that took you away from it. This is particularly hard when you're in a position like Mr. Matheson, where his daily routine is what caused the problem in the first place. This comic also features Ricky Special and Sinnimon Slush, the best friends from the Very Special pilot. Speaking of Very Special, I've finally started the task of animating after recording with my cast last summer. I feel like the models, and Stable Diffusion in general, are finally ready to put on a show.

Will Mr. Matheson be able to stop thinking about his problems and get back to his life? Keep reading this week to find out.

Latch on to learning!
