Time for another round of System in the Wild where you send in cool / interesting / funny interpretations of the characters you see in The System, and I post them on the site for everyone else to gawk at! First up is Systemic Holly, who saw this on a blog elsewhere. Don’t ask me to read it ‘cuz I can’t, but I think the baby looks like the 10 commandments in History of the World Part 1. Or, y’know, the Torah. Thanks, Hol! LINK.

Next up is from Systemic Yoni. It’s signage from the 80’s in case of a nuclear attack, which seemed looming enough at the time to get a nice little sign made and put in a cute little frame. Be sure to check out #8, it’s Yoni’s favorite. LINK.

Finally we conclude with Systemic Aaron. He saw this and took the pic while waiting for his girlfriend. Looks like this “wet floor” sign guy did a little more drinking than slipping. Lawsuit waiting to happen or open bar? YOU DECIDE. LINK.

There you have it! We’re always looking for more System in the Wild posts to put up on the site, so send them our way at systemcomic at gmail, and I’ll post them here on the site!

Yesterday’s comic, The System 333: Full Gadget Ratio has been doing quite well for itself. It made it to the front of Reddit for a hot second, has spread around pretty well on Twitter, etc. However, a bunch of people more mathy than I, thinking I’m secretly trying to be XKCD (hint: XKCD has yet to do a comic about crop marks and bleed), are having some trouble with the equation. Fair, since I spend too much time on the graphic and little on making the equation work. Case in point:

Why take so much time on the graphic only to have such a poorly thought out equation?

I’m not normally one to obsess over others’ comments on the comic, but they have a valid point. Systemics, let’s give this chart an equation to be proud of! Given the variables at hand, help me come up with something better. Use whatever units of measurement you feel appropriate and all the information at hand, and post them here in the comments. I’ll update this chart and give credit where due the best I can. In fact, I’ll be picking at random one of the people who helps in the comments to get a FREE PRINT of this comic from our store, HilariAwesome.com!
