An Experiment

Don't quote me on this.

Sleepy Genius

It's getting dangerously close to week 5 for Rob.

Corrupting The Youth

Probably the first time Tim was preferred to a philosophy essay.

Calculated Risks

Papercuts and drinking too much coffee, arguably, are the main risks of this sort of enterprise.

On the Tip of My Tongue

The one on... you know, where you say... that thing about...

All's Well That Starts Well

Those who know me and who still have doubts as to the autobiographical dimension of these cartoons (they're NOT) will realise that this could not be further from autobiographically accurate.

Yes - No - Don't Know

Not sponsored by Ibuprofen. Or maybe it is. Who knows?

Some say the world will end in metaphysics

Don't worry, Tim's fine. It's only watercolour fire. Wait, what?

The Meaning of Life

Your guess is as good as mine.

Philosophy in the Bathroom

Next time, naked Tim wearing The Gay Science.

Sorry for the delay!

Impractical Reason

That's why philosophers are always skeletal.

Don't Be a Nutter, Just Eat Nutella

Sometimes we take things too seriously in Academialand. Happy Pancake Day!

On the shoulders of giants

BONUS GAMES: Name that Philosopher! Level of difficulty: 1.

The Harsh Truth

True story. I'm still crying.

By the way, this is the fiftieth comic!

The Empirical Mind

Formal Hall: a place where misunderstandings between disciplines get cleared up... or not.

La Tortura

"Bergsonian Duration is exactly 3000 times longer when coupled with Kantian thought." J. Travis, Journal of Philosophical Profoundities, Issue 416, n.3, p.247 (2011).

Pun-ishment

There we go, Tim's already failed to stick to one of his new year resolutions.

Take It Philosophically

What's the point of children's books if they don't teach children the harsh realities of life and death?

If you haven't yet done so - or even if you have - submit a name for Tim's Monkey on this page!

The Happiest Girl in the World

I've been guiltily watching a few Jane Austen adaptations recently and I thought (yes, you can think while watching a Jane Austen adaptation (well only when they're taking useless walks around the countryside (and when Mr Dashing isn't around))), and I thought, then, that I'd like to know what the rather silly euphemism 'He's just made me the happiest girl in the world' could mean in the modern world when it doesn't mean 'He's asked me if I'd be happy to acquire his surname'.

This is Jenny's interpretation. What's yours?

The Grand Theory of Utter Bollocks

Having wasted quite a lot of nights noting down hundreds of pages of atrociously badly written, completely insane stories in the heat of a ferocious bout of midnight inspiration, I've now learnt to restrain myself and not turn on my laptop when I wake up having just had the idea of the century that's going to turn me into an instant Nobel Prize winner.

(Stephenie Meyer, unfortunately, hasn't.)
