1	''[[https://statisticalfact.com/ Statistical Fact]]'' is a collection of “dumb comics for smart people” by Eric Erbes that launched in 2013. The series features mostly statistical-themed gags based on human behavior and other random topics. The illustration style is supposed to mimic old-fashioned cartoonist doodles on a bar napkin while the subject matter remains primarily modern.
