I've spent the last 2 hours looking online for a specific comic strip.

Crude drawing. Stick figures. The jist is:

Physics students get a homework assignment. Due the same day of the exam. A student decides to procrastinate until the day before. Starts panicking when he doesn't understand material. Get's a 60% on the homework. Highest grade in the class. Then he takes a shot at engineers because they can't do their homework alone.

Anybody know what I'm talking about?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Nah, I looked through ALL of those, because I was sure it came from there. But no. :(

NFW. Get out! I thought I zinged that one!
 
FW. It's not there, but the style is pretty much the same, so I thought it had to come from there. But I guess not. :(
 
Why don't you use the ToonDoo (www.ToonDoo.com). 'The Comic Strip Creator'

There, you can create your own Comic Strip and Share, Private, or Publish to the world, so the global people can comment it. I tried it and its really simple and funny. even 3 1/2 kids can do that.

Take a look my Strip:
