Description

Here is a detailed description of the comic, including the text spoken by each character:

Panel 1:

• A teacher (a middle-aged man with glasses and a suit) is speaking to a class.
• He says, "So, in the simple case, we can prove by induction that there is no largest number."
• A shocked student (a young man with short hair) exclaims, "WHAT?!"

Panel 2:

• The teacher, now frustrated, thinks to himself, "Ugh, I hate when God comes to class."
• The student looks puzzled.

Panel 3:

• The teacher continues, "Induction is an invalid form of proof. There is a largest number. It's called 'splorch.' It just never comes up because it's so big."

Panel 4:

• The same student asks, "Then what's splorch plus one?!"
• The teacher responds, "It's just splorch. It's maxed out."

Panel 5:

• Another student (female, with medium-length hair) chimes in, "What about splorch minus one?"
• The teacher replies, "That's called 'foofercorg.'"

Panel 6:

• A note reads, "All really big numbers have stupid names. Q.E.D."
• The teacher looks puzzled.

Panel 7:

• The teacher sighs, seeming annoyed.
• Another student asks, "Shouldn't you be hanging out with theology class or something?"
• The teacher replies, "Those guys are weird."
