Randal Munroe posted some "XKCD" comics on LISP, which I thought were  especially relevant to my situation.

This one below drawn a while back is called ""LISP" and captures my fascination with functional programming and its remarkable ability to express simply and elegantly everything about the world.

This more recent one called "LISP Cycles" conveys my attempt to use the light side of the "force," functional programming, to overcome the dark side, imperative programming (and --shhh!-- singlehandedly defeat the evil empire in the process.)
