Poetry-comic-artist Grant Snider posts wonderfully illustrated and entertaining verses online -- on X (Twitter) @grantdraws -- and sometimes his postings are mathy. Here is a link to an interview with Snider. Snider has indicated in his postings that our current month of October is Poetry Comics Month, Here is a link to one of his past poetry-comics-month postings -- and below I offer one of his illustrated mathy haiku.

All Together -- Humor, Math, Poetry
Blogger and teacher Sue VanHattum (blogger at Math Mama Writes) has been a frequent and valuable contributor to this blog -- find stuff at this link -- and Sue has recently alerted me to a poetic posting that she found on Facebook -- written and drawn by artist-illustrator (and orthodontist) Grant Snider whose pithy and entertaining words and pictures are found at the website Incidental Comics. Here is the opening portion of that visual-comic-poetic posting:

Snider's complete "How To Be a Triangle" is found in Incidental Comics at this link. Another recent posting -- "How to be a circle" -- is found at this link.
