Education
Weiner's first degree was in literature. With the success of his web strip, Weiner decided to go back to university to study science in order to satisfy his personal interests while also creating stress and creative ideas for his comics; initially planning on biochemistry, he opted to pursue physics. Weiner continues to produce SMBC, and fits it into his college schedule: he studies during the day and spends evenings on his strip.
