Taken from their website:
"Welcome to "Piled Higher and Deeper", the ongoing chronicle of life (or the lack thereof) in grad school."
It's a fun webcomic about life in academia, written by some guys who used to be at Stanford, graduated, but have continued to work on this. It's filled with references to movies, science, math, literature, and the whatnot.
If you're a grad student, college student who works too much, or high school student who works too much, this should be good for a few laughs, and you should relate pretty well ^^
EDIT: Dammit, typo'ed, supposed to be "Comics" in title, can someone change that? Much obliged.
EDIT2: Thank you ^^

Oh, I read that. It's pretty funny a lot of the time, but I don't like the current storyline that they're running too much.

Haha, as an undergrad at Stanford I appreciate this strip. There's kind of a funny dynamic on campus here: because grad students and undergrads live and take classes in similar locations you might expect them to get along well, but there's almost complete segregation. What's more is that most undergrads' stereotype of a grad student is a "creepy nerd on a bike" who lives in EV and shows up to the skankiest undergrad parties to try to pick up chicks.
Actually, most of the Stanford grad students I've met have been nice, normal people  Still, I'm not surprised this strip came out of Stanford - my impression of grad student life here is that it is pretty rough (outside of the obviously super academic programs).

I'm a phd student and all around the grad student office areas we have copies of these comics pasted to the walls 
It's printed in our school [rutgers] newspaper as well.
Abstract Mad Libs is...amazing. And true. So, so true.

Yea these are amazing. I was making fun of my professor the other day in a meeting when he acted exactly like the old professor in one of the comics.
