Your calendar project is awesome! I've learned about quite a few official days that I had never heard of before! (and the art is great!)

So after reading a bunch of Ben Snakepit comics, I decided it would be fun to do something very similar. I've been drawing quick 3 panel strips every day for the last week or so about my day.

Esoteric punchlines and accessibility of humour
Questions

I've always gotten good responses when I delve into programming or music topics in comics, like jokes about Git or amps. Not everybody will get it it, but the people that do tend to enjoy it more.
