Adventures of Archibal Higgins: euclid rules ok?

The Adventures of Archibald Higgins are witty and fantastic cartoon stories for adults of any age, which unveil some of the central concepts of modern mathematics and science in a way that scientists and non-scientists alike find enchanting.

In Euclid Rules OK? Archibald travels to the land of geometry. He plants surveyors rods, lays tiles, pursues snails, stretches strings, blows up balloons and discovers that the products of 'Euclid & CO' don't work in all cases. Luckily Sophie turns up to put him out of his misery - and to serve as a living proof of his belief that 'curves of all kind' are fascinating.
