    No matter how hard you run, Lisp will find you.

    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...

    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.

    @That Other Guy: Those are tools used to break the lock on the diary, I believe.

    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.

    Your meal turned into a hammer, a sharpener and a staple. O.o (Don't eat it)

    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:
    +++++++[>+++++++++++++.>+++++++++++<>.<>>++++++++<<>>.<<+++++.>+.+++++++.<>--<>---.----.<>+++<>.>.<+.--..<>--<>.--------.>>>++++[-]<.<.<<>+++++<>-.<>----<>.---.>.<+++++++.---.<>+++++<>.---.>.<+++++++.-----.<>-----<>+.<>+++++<>+.<>-----<>.<>+++++<>-.>.<++++++.<>-----<>.++++++.>>>>[-]++[<>-]<<-.<<<>>-----------<<>>.

    The hammer reminds me of the double-clawed hammer someone created to represent PHP...
