While he works arduously putting just the right smirks onto the faces of his round-faced buddies for his 3rd book of mathematical fun-fare, I figured it might be time for a little retrospective of Ben Orlin, for anyone new to the math world, or who has otherwise somehow missed his meteoric (or perhaps asteroidal) rise to some prominence in the math-o-sphere (pretty sure he’s the most sought-after cartoonist of bad drawings who currently roams the math-landscape). And heck, for all I know, there's even about a 1/365 chance that today is his birthday.
So anyway, here are the main pieces I’ve written on Ben over the last few years, for any who wish to acquaint themselves with him:
2 interviews I’ve done with him:
...a further “profile” I did of Ben last year:
...and “reviews” of his first 2 mediocre books:
( IF by “mediocre” one means incredibly fun, unique, entertaining, engaging, and instructive volumes):
