Piled Higher and Deeper 20th Anniversary Collection (Piled Higher and Deeper #6)

Celebrate 20 years of PHD Comics with us! This sixth collection of comics continues the saga of Cecilia, Mike Slackenerny, Tajel and the Nameless Hero as they deal with tough advisors, frustrating undergrads and writing their thesis. This collection contains exclusive essays by Jorge Cham on why he started drawing the comics, who inspired the characters (including Prof. Smith!), and where all his ideas come from. Other highlights include PHD Comics' take on Dr. Who, Les Miserables, and Downton Abbey. Want to know how many academics it takes to get a Powerpoint presentation to work? Or where you stand in the lab/department hierarchy? This book has comics for you. It also includes Jorge's Tales from the Road comics and a handy guide to Academic Regalia.
