  • In the strip "Alone" of the online comic xkcd by Randall Munroe, a male and female stick figure are seen together in an intimate situation. The male voices over, explaining his obsessive tendency to count numbers and find patterns. When he realizes that she is touching him in a pattern corresponding to the Fibonacci Sequence, his appreciation for her increases tremendously.
  • In a strip of Frazz by Jef Mallett, Frazz and a student are discussing her knitted hat. The student says, "Mom sewed one sparkly here and here. Two sparklies here. Three sparklies. Five sparklies. Eight sparklies. Thirteen..." To which Frazz replies, "Fibonacci sequins, of course."

Famous quotes related to comic strips:

    Commercial jazz, soap opera, pulp fiction, comic strips, the movies set the images, mannerisms, standards, and aims of the urban masses. In one way or another, everyone is equal before these cultural machines; like technology itself, the mass media are nearly universal in their incidence and appeal. They are a kind of common denominator, a kind of scheme for pre-scheduled, mass emotions.
    C. Wright Mills (1916–62)
