Great fun comics... This is an amazing collectors item. I am a huge fan of PHD comics and this is a great way to preserve my memories of this wonderful comic. Keep it up George Cham..
Got me though my PhD This is a great book. His humour is so spot on - it really is a great representation of grad life. This first book also shows how the strip has progressed over time - the artwork and the story arcs have developed a lot.
A comic book that is extremely cathartic - and yeah, It really did help me get through my PhD.
Helping you survive graduate school Jorge's comic makes light of the trials and trival exsistence of graduate life. His work is very comforting because you know that you are not the only one going through the ups and downs of graduate school.
PhD Comics First Book Published I had to wait for about a Month to get my hands on this book (shipping to Malaysia from the US seems to take a long time) but it was worth the wait. Very nicely done and the quality of the book is very good. The comic strips are nice and hillarious...As a PhD student, what Cham says in his comics really apply to your day to day life and this makes this comic strip really special.....
Any Postgrad student who's interested in purchasing this book, don't think twice go ahead and order now!!!....I myself am thinking of ordering the remaining two books in future....
great gift for grad students the first of Cham's oh-so-true chronicles of the lives of graduate students in America. I have given this book as a gift to many of my friends as we struggle through our own advanced degrees. They love it every time.
