Welcome to Mr. Fisch! http://mrfisch.com/blog Home of Mr. Fisch, the nearly daily comic strip, right now mostly about science, by former teacher Michael Gerber.

The Asian jumping carp.  If you haven’t seen the video yet, go youtube it.  And keep your eyes open for its nom de market of ‘Kentucky Tuna’.  They feed low enough in the food chain to avoid mercury contamination.  Please enjoy.  And give me a contract.  But mostly enjoy.

But this stuff writes itself. More and more recent fisch on facebook.

The two headed, quacking chihuahua is a Mr. Fisch showpiece. Enjoy.

This one’s out of order, but funny enough to open with. Enjoy.

This so closely approximates a conversation I’ve had so many times that it’s hardly satire. Between the crappy breakfast and thinking a 20 minute shower is yours by right, we are not doing well by future generations.

Whatever happens, giving kids an ‘energy head’ is the place to start. But we’re speaking different languages, so it has to be made cool first, and that has to be done by the Media Machine, not lone, well intentioned teachers.

It’s not the energy savings at the moment, possibly trivial compared to total use, as much as the lack of thought.
