The www.Math-Comic-Strips.com web site was developed for one primary reason...to offer a way to help teach math to our nation's children. In this fast-paced world of television, video games and other distractions, they knew that this would prove to be a formidable challenge. Math is complicated and boring to too many children, and well, too much like "work". We need a way to make learning math exciting and fun.

How about the vehicle of a comic book? For starters, comic books have stood the test of time. Long before the digital age of the 24 hour cartoon network, children would be huddled under their blankets, with comic book and flashlight in hand. A very visual learning tool, it is also portable, requiring no electricity or attachments or even, strange as it may sound these days, an internet connection.
We have come across just the comic...an educational math comic featuring "The Innovative Dr. Knowledge". Now Dr. Knowledge is not a "Super Hero" in the sense that he is from another planet or has been bitten by an insect or something. He's a regular guy. His "superior abilities" (if we can call them that) comes from his hard work at studying math and other subjects over the years. With these "powers" he is able to solve some fantastic crimes and problems. We are hoping that as children read and follow his adventures, they will become enchanted by the world of math, and motivated to do their own math homework in the process.
Bobby lost his mother at a young age, and had a rather difficult childhood in many respects. To make a long story short, his father decided to take him on a trip to help encourage and motivate his son. As fate would have it, he ended up on an island, and it was here that he embraced his love of math. Math helped him to solve many problems that the island presented him with, and through these adventures he was able to see the practical applications of math.
Bobby was eventually rescued, and made his way back to the "civilized world". He pursued a more formal education in math, and eventually earned his PhD in mathematics at a very prestigious university. His math skills helped him to acquire great wealth. He was also able to use these math skills to solve crimes and problems, and make the world a better place.
We hope that you enjoy "The Innovative Dr. Knowledge", and will join the bandwagon in promoting math education to our nation's children. Math comic strips will never be the same again.
