Marriage versus the PhD

Posted on 1 May 2012 by Léo Charbonneau

I flipped my favourite calendar over to May this morning, and this is what I saw. This lighthearted moment is brought to you by the 2012 Piled Higher and Deeper calendar by Jorge Cham. This particular comic is rated the 7th most popular of Jorge’s collection. See all the PhD comics and more at Jorge’s website.
