We are entering a new global economy…one in which our children will need to compete with other children around the world. In this digital age of massive distractions, such as video games and television, we have a lot of competing media for our children\’s attention. To many children math is complicated and boring and too much like \”work\”. We needed a way to make learning math fun.

How about the vehicle of a comic book? For starters, comic books have stood the test of time. Long before the digital age of the 24 hour cartoon network, children would be huddled under their blankets, with comic book and flashlight in hand. A very visual learning tool, it is also portable, requiring no electricity or attachments or even, strange as it may sound these days, an internet connection.

We have come across just the comic…an educational math comic featuring \”The Innovative Dr. Knowledge\”. Now Dr. Knowledge is not a \”Super Hero\” in the sense that he is from another planet or has been bitten by an insect or something. He\’s a regular guy. His \”superior abilities\” (if we can call them that) comes from his hard work at studying math and other subjects over the years. With these \”powers\” he is able to solve some fantastic crimes and problems. We are hoping that as children read and follow his adventures, they will become enchanted by the world of math, and motivated to do their own math homework in the process.

When our hero was young, he lost his mother, and had a rather problematic childhood in many respects. While on a trip that his father hoped would encourage and motivate his son, he got shipwrecked on an island. It was on this island that he found his love of math and other subjects. He used this knowledge to solve the various problems that the island threw his way. In many ways, the island showed him practical applications of math.

Bobby was eventually rescued, and made his way back to the \”civilized world\”. He pursued a more formal education in math, and eventually earned his PhD in mathematics at a very prestigious university. His math skills helped him to acquire great wealth. He was also able to use these math skills to solve crimes and problems, and make the world a better place.

We hope that you will enjoy reading their flagship comic book, \”The Innovative Dr. Knowledge\”. We hope that you will join them in helping to promote math to our nation\’s children. Who knows, math comic strips may never be the same…
