Behold true tales of procrastination!  Learn whether to get a PhD!  Or just kick back and enjoy fall.  Enjoy another science webcomics interlude!  The first two are 'long form', so follow their links to get the full story.  The last, a poetic commentary on the new Fall season, stands on its own.

First, an overlap of Science and Comic-Con-- the full comic has the entire tale.

The ever-lovin' PhDComics.com (follow link to full comic)

This next was far too big to fit here, so we'll only include the question, and let you follow it to hear the answer.  It's a very... truthful answer.

Don't you want to know the answer? Visit SurvivingtheWorld.net

And, of course, one should look at the nuance in the relationship between advisor and PhD candidate, between mentor and student.  A moment of reflection.

And PhDComics is back with a haiku-like stand-alone.

Time to fall off the tree, everyone.
