Out of Context Comics

Comic panels taken out of comics so we can make fun of them!! We love the golden age stuff!

Rules:

  1. Comics must come from actual comic books. No AI or Photoshops.

  2. Single panels are preferred.

  3. Comics should be unintentionally funny. Spider-man cracking wise is not what this is about.

  4. Don't be a dick.

  5. I can't believe I've had to add this... NO RACISM.

Now I need to know what that formula actually is.

d/dx is notation for "derivative of" and what follows is a 4-variable function that (I think) would graph to some kind of 4D shape. Though taking the derivative of that surface with respect to X should result in a 3D shape. I think the author knew just enough calculus to sorta get the gist of something that looks like it's describing 4D/3D stuff to anyone else who's taken high school or college calculus (e.g. me. I don't know much higher math)

It's 0, since ∂t/∂x = 0.
