Nate: Oh, no. Francis: Oh, yes! The new edition of "funtastic facts"! Nate: Put it away, Francis! I don't want you shoving factoids in my face all day! Francis: Ah! Factoids! Francis: You'll be interested to know that the word "factoid" has a fascinating provenance! *flip flip flip* Teddy: Isn't Provenance a city in France? Nate: Somebody kill me.

What a strange name — “Yak Yak Yak Yak Yak Yak”!
I wonder if he’s related to “Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah”?

How quaint that he’s using a book – the sterotypical image of the “annoying fact guy” today usually involves an ipad and constant Googling everything everybody says.

I thought it was “The Book of Facts,” not ""Funtastic Facts."

I like Francis, but he shouldn’t need to look for it at the time he is talking to them. I don’t.

Okay, gang, listen up!
I’m taking a poll right now:
How will Francis’ new book meet its demise?
JPuzzleWhiz over 7 years ago
I say it ends up in a chipper/shredder.
JPuzzleWhiz over 7 years ago
The poll will end the day before the book’s fate is determined.

Whenever I read these “Book of Facts/Funtastic Facts” comics, I sometimes wonder….is Mr. Pierce a super-genius or does he just look up random facts? Either way, Mr. Pierce is still a cartooning genius!

It’s actually Provence.
