Have a Happy Memorial Day, and remember those who made it possible.

Being that this is a themed comic -- the themes being math and teachers -- I don't usually have a Memorial Day comics. Moreover, what I'd want to do to commemorate the day is still beyond my skills. So this is my compromise. It's still a backyard barbecue, but there's some 'illogic' to it and there's a veteran running things.

And it's patriotic: Red: the inside of the burgers (and probably the steaks as well); White: the color of the T-shirt that prevents bad sunburns; and Blue: your lips five minutes after you get into the water!

By the way, around here, the water is definitely still too cold.
