Indexed

Created by Jessica Hagy, and chronicled on her blog, which is a collection of charts and diagrams hand drawn on 3x5 index cards and organized into a blog format. She has compiled her cartoons into a book called Indexed.

Started in August of 2006, Indexed has been noted around the web. Let's listen to Jessica described about her project:
"This is a little project that allows me to make fun of some things and sense of others without resorting to doing actual math." - said on her blog - "Today, I’d have to take the word ‘little’ out of that line."
