Happy Agnostica!

X-mas isn't the only holiday this time of year, so I thought I'd share some comicage of my personal holiday of choice, the secular winter holiday Agnostica!

Well, if I only commented on things that WERE my thing, I wouldn't be doing a lot of commenting other than 'yeah, nice stuff', which gets boring. A good rant every now and then does no harm.

Still, I found it antagonistic to jump from 'this guy is kind of smug,' to attacking the holiday as a whole for daring to cater to people who find 'scientific and mathematic gobbledegook' fun to someone who celebrates it.

To be honest, I hadn't realized at the time that Agnostica was a genuine holiday that people actually celebrated. I was under the impression that it had been made up for the strip. I wasn't trying to belittle your enjoyment of the holiday - and if I did come off that way, I apologize - I was grousing about a strip I didn't like because I thought the characters were jerks.

Ah, that does explain things. Sorry if I bit your head off.

It was invented by the maker of the strip originally, but at the same time he does stuff like set up a "random bad of fun" and such that's run for many years now and people do participate in Agnostica festivities and there are some people such as me who do celebrate it 'cause it's fun. So it's a small but real thing.

Ah, so it's mainly a 'fans of the strip' sort of thing. I guess that explains why I never heard of it - it's not a strip I follow.
