Description
Comic Description:
Panel 1:
- Text: "In this paper, we disprove the boobs conjecture, which states that, for B = 58008, there is no number larger than B, excluding multiples of B, that is funnier than B."
- Image: A cartoon woman with dark hair and glasses stands at a podium, smiling and gesturing.
Panel 2:
- Text: "Consider the set of all numbers B, such that B = (B - 8)10^x + 8, where x is a counting number. Examples include 580008 and 58000000008."
- Image: The same cartoon woman is shown, holding a piece of paper while speaking.
Panel 3:
- Text: "In this plot, we show that the 'boobs numbers' get monotonically funnier with larger x, though the rate of increase declines rapidly, starting around 69."
- Image: A graph appears next to the woman, plotting a rising curve labeled "Funny" against "Length."
Panel 4:
- Text: "There are good reasons for this, which you can find detailed in the latest issue of our new publication."
- Image: The woman gestures toward a publication cover.
Bottom Section:
- Image: A book cover with the following text:
- "Journal of Puerile Mathematics"
- "Lowercase Delta: δ"
- "Kind of looks like a wiener"
- "Bonus: Special section on the imaginary unit!"
The comic combines humor with mathematical concepts, presented visually and textually.
