the best part of this flatland-inspired comic by abstruse goose is the hidden alternative text for the image, which i'll reveal after you read it.
the alternative text: "sometimes i think i'm surrounded by idiots everywhere. then i remind myself that that's exactly what an idiot would think."
in case youre interested in some accessible science reading, i highly recommend going through the short novel, Flatland: A Romance in Many Dimensions. by edwin abbott abbott (yes, that's abbott-squared). it was written in 1884, includes adorable illustrations and describes "the journeys of A. Square, a resident of Flatland, and his adventures in Spaceland (three dimensions), Lineland (one dimension) and Pointland (no dimensions). A. Square also entertains thoughts of visiting a land of four dimensions; a revolutionary idea for which he is banished from Spaceland."
