For readers of The Oatmeal, this may come as a surprise. It certainly did to me:

Matthew Inman, the hilarious tech nerd behind The Oatmeal’s comics, is apparently a running nerd as well. And not only that– in spite of his portly avatar, he’s an ultra marathoner. He wrote about his experience in the White River Ultra here (Thanks Chris, for pointing this out).

Welcome to the fold, Matthew.

Bonus: One of The Oatmeal’s long-term readers offers some lovely parenting advice.
