pi

An eleven-panel SMBC comic. A bearded man stands against a green background arguing with God, who speaks only through speech bubbles from offscreen. The man complains: "You made math annoying, God. All the interesting constants are irrational. φ, e, π... why can't π equal 3?" God replies, "It does." The man disputes this, explaining that any circle on a flat two-dimensional plane has a circumference about 3.1459 times its diameter, calling it asinine. God challenges, "Show me a two-dimensional plane." The man admits he can't — it's an abstraction. God, now annoyed, retorts: "And you're annoyed with ME? The entire universe is warped spacetime, permitting that ratio to have all sorts of values, including 3. Then humans imagine some space that doesn't even exist and get annoyed with the weird result." The man backs down sheepishly ("I didn't know math critique was one of your buttons!") and storms off saying he's so mad he's going to devastate a city in a way that looks like a normally-occurring weather event — revealing he too is a god — to which God says "Aha!" Votey (aftercomic): an otherwise empty panel containing a single large speech bubble with handwritten text: "Don't make me smite your ass."
