This is good,  but it could have been so much better.

1) These should be organized into groups, trees, neural nets etc to
   clarify things with similarities and distinctions.

2) Some concepts require more panels, maybe even a whole cartoon.

I mean really, what you should know about stack is **STACK OVERFLOW**?
There should be multiple panels, one with a stack of plates, one with a
bucket brigade to emphasize the difference between FIFO and LIFO, and
one showing what stack overflow actually is.

Some of these drawings have value. The one about the 7 layer OSI
network stack really clarifies things. But I'd say less than 1/2 of
them stand on their own.
