It's post number 1234. It's a blog number fest today. One two three four, a perfect number, right? Well not really. Even though 1 2 3 4 is the beginning of infinity it doesn't show up in this book as anything special.
Well what is a perfect number? It's when the addition if the divisors equals the number itself. I.e. the first perfect number - 6. 1+2+3=6 So the next number that this works for is 28. The numbers are few and far between. I've worked out the first ten for you.

Now for a really swell prize, I need someone to figure out number 11. (show your math)
Two -
Here's a cartoon that sort of reminded me about something but I can't quite put my finger on it.
And then there was another one. I keep saying to myself, what is it about these toons?
And then cousin Mike really came through yesterday. My type of toon.
