Back in high school, after reading Space-Time and Beyond for the umpteenth time and drinking one too many zombies with my friend Henry, we came up with a theory:
In the infinite set of universes, there had to exist a particular universe in which the events in our lives were being watched as a TV show.
We then made a solemn vow to live in a way to keep our ratings up.
This is the continuation of that story.
Jose Martin "Joey" deVilla is, among other things:

Remember kids: the integral of a continuous vector field (with continuous first-order derivatives, naturally) over a closed curve - traversed in the POSITIVE DIRECTION - is equal to the double integral of the scalar product of the curl of that vector field's times the normal, taken over the surface.
(Stokes' theorem made so much more sense two years ago - and yes, I need sleep.)
(For those who aren't mathematically inclined: a triple integral suggests integration using three variables which implies three dimensions, so yes, spherical coordinates -- two angles and a radius -- and not polar -- one angle and a radius -- apply.)
Does anyone know where this comic is from originally? It looks familiar but I can't exactly google for "comic with off-center googly eyes." :)
