Surviving the World

A Photocomic Education by Dante Shepherd

Lesson #279 - Science vs. Religion (Bracket Week)

This week, in workplaces across America, offices are preparing for a significant drop in productivity because of the men's (and women's) college basketball tournament. Even if no one watched a single game all year, money still gets thrown into a pool, based on people picking the winning teams in a 64-team bracket.

There's something we've always enjoyed about brackets, how they illustrate the breakdown and progression of a tournament. As such, we're going to be taking four ideas this week and throwing them into the comic in bracket form - one item versus another item, and then what wins out as a result.

And considering what we posted yesterday, today's is a nice way to start off.

It'd be five days of brackets, but the Name of the Year tournament didn't post early enough for us to make to a comic about it. Nonetheless, make sure you enjoy it - Dante has actually worn a nametag declaring himself to be 'Jeremiah Kilimanjaro' before based on a name he saw in last year's tournament.

We're off to the great city of Pittsburgh! See none of you there.
