Quantoons, a new NSTA publication, is a compilation of intricate, engaging, and sophisticated cartoons by noted MAD magazine and Garbage Pail Kid artist Tomas Bunk. These quantoons are accompanied by a literary quote as well as a description of a physics principle and a challenging physics problem and solution. People can appreciate physics through the cartoon, literary, or problem window. The cartoons and quotes provide a way to assess student learning or prior knowledge as presented in the classroom. The problems provide enhanced articulation of the physics principles. Many of these problem have been used in the International Physics Olympiad and will certainly be suitable for undergraduate and graduate students. All illustrations are accompanied by a description of the artist's conceptions and thoughts. A look into science through the creative mind of a non-science person helps us to see how our students can appreciate our science lessons in a novel way.
