A four-panel black and white comic titled "SIMPLE BUT NOT EASY" featuring retro clip art with cursive handwriting. Panel 1 shows an older woman arranging flowers, reflecting on wishing she had realized certain things when younger. Panel 2 features a bride and groom illustration with text referencing Alfred Korzybski's Science and Sanity (1933), explaining how a couple agreeing to marriage based on their own separate internal concepts are doomed to unhappiness because marriage is only defined as a word. Panel 3 shows a younger woman at a pool explaining how she learned in her mid-30s to reframe and define a fulfilling marriage together with her partner. Panel 4 returns to the older woman arranging flowers, with dialogue bubbles revealing a BDSM dynamic: "So what is marriage, pet?", "Whatever you say it is, mistress", and "It's whatever we agree it is, my love. For not listening it's another night of teasing in chastity", followed by an off-screen "whines like dog".  Pinne

Because of Hindu-Arabic numerals, kids like us can do things scholars used to do.

Simple But Not Easy

A four-panel black and white comic titled "SIMPLE BUT NOT EASY" featuring retro clip art. Panel 1 shows a young girl talking to a boy on a tricycle holding a teddy bear, with stone tablets showing Roman numerals in the background, explaining how ancient numbers looked different. Panel 2 features classical Roman statues and columns alongside text explaining how ancient numeric systems were slow and limited math to scholars, whereas the adoption of Hindu-Arabic numerals allowed children to perform advanced arithmetic. Panel 3 displays animated schoolhouse and textbook figures with text describing how spatial arrangements of modern numerals enable mental math and global standardization over the last few centuries. Panel 4 returns to the children: the girl offers to teach a secret language she made up with Teddy, to which the boy replies, "Nobody wants to learn your weird language. My daddy speaks American so I do too".

A four-panel black and white comic titled "SIMPLE BUT NOT EASY" featuring retro clip art. Panel 1 shows a spiral notebook entry with handwritten text from a young girl explaining Y=f(x) math, where you don't know something until you know something else, alongside an illustration of the girl and a walking book. Panel 2 shows the girl holding a phone against a blackboard background filled with math equations, speaking about how crime statistics are calculated based on known information. Panel 3 continues the phone conversation as she explains that survey data about unreported crime is subject to its own methodological limits. Panel 4 reveals the other end of the interaction: a cashier asks what toppings she wants on a small vanilla frozen yogurt, and the girl requests crushed Butterfinger equal to the remaining empty volume of the cup and the top swirl, capped with magic shell chocolate to cover the combined surface area.

Looking back I have no regrets, but there are some things I wish I had realized when I was younger.

A four-panel black and white comic titled "SIMPLE BUT NOT EASY" featuring retro clip art in a cursive, handwritten font. Panel 1 shows an older woman arranging flowers in a vase, reflectively stating she has no regrets but wishes she had realized certain things when younger. Panel 2 transitions to a younger woman at a pool edge explaining that she always knew concepts like virginity, chastity, and purity were rooted in patriarchal ownership and mind-body control. Panel 3 continues with the younger woman discussing the historical basis and contemporary motivation in inheritance and real property law for sustaining those guilt-based concepts. Panel 4 returns to the older woman arranging flowers, concluding that she should have synthesized earlier that the battle of the sexes is warfare, and all warfare is class warfare.
