* This joke is for everyone who’s ever loved (or hated) the quantization of total angular momentum, J. The z-component of total angular momentum is denoted by Jz.
For a given j (the quantum number that characterizes the magnitude of total angular momentum as J=ℏ√j(j+1) ), Jz can have 2j+1 different values.
* In case you don’t really follow pop-culture, the joke refers to Jay-Z’s song “99 Problems,” which has the infamous chorus line: “I got 99 problems but a bi*ch ain’t one”.
h/t to Melanie Nelson of Annorlunda Books, who suggested that I make a comic based on this line from the “Academaze” manuscript: “[I]t is fundamentally impossible to have the right amount of preliminary data.”
I drew the one below while I was waiting for Eldest’s turn at a music competition (he did fabulously, in case you are wondering). It will be an illustration in the upcoming book (“Academaze“).
Here are a few sketches that I made as illustrations for the collection I am working on.
These might be used in addition to some of the already published xykademiqz cartoons.
