What da hell? Her cereal turned into a hammer, a staple, and a...pencil sharpener? >_> Li, you make the goofiest comics. Love it.

I was stuck feeling a freelance writing project that was working on was too cute, too cheesy, too silly. But then I just read your comic and it brought such a smile to my face that I realize the world needs more fun and cute stories. Thanks Li! Your comic always brightens my day...even if it means Shoelace has to be sad for it to happen.

I hated writing in Lisp for my CS course freshman year, but when we had moved on from it I missed it's elegance. Also I HAD to count all of those parentheses. You win this time...

Nonono, the hammer was to break the lock on the diary! ..I don't know where the cereal went.

How do you annoy a LISP programmer? (

Gah... I find myself compulsively looking for unbalanced parens (which is probably why I program in python now.

It is a hammer she used to break the lock on the diary.

Love how Jordan's decoy-diary is decorated with hearts and Shoelace. I couldn't think of a more manlier decoy.

It's not a sharpener and staple. Those are pieces of the lock - look at panel one and then panel two. And I love this comic ^o^

Loved the comic! I swear I had almost the same exact diary when I was a kid: it had a heart-shaped lock and everything. However: void-function decoy-diary :(

Whenever I see that many parenthesis, i think of Lisp and Scheme. and then i regret ever programming in scheme.

I have never commented before, but I wanted to say how much I love this comic. I have been following for about 10 months.

You're worrying about unbalanced parentheses? I'm worrying if 'decoy-diary' returns a function that when called returns a function that when called returns a function that when called ...

LISP strikes again! If I had a diary, I would include pages like that just to throw people off... - unbalanced paren in the comments) just can't help it :)

He's a geek: his real diary probably looks like this: +++++++[>+++++++++++++.>+++++++++++<>.<>>++++++++<<>>.<<+++++.>+.+++++++.<>--<>---.----.<>+++<>.>.<+.--..<>--<>.--------.>>>++++[-]<.<.<<>+++++<>-.<>----<>.---.>.<+++++++.---.<>+++++<>.---.>.<+++++++.-----.<>-----<>+.<>+++++<>+.<>-----<>.<>+++++<>-.>.<++++++.<>-----<>.++++++.>>>>[-]++[<>-]<<-.<<<>>-----------<<>>.
