irrational
Original: irrational on Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
Transcript
The characters are anthropomorphized numbers. The setting is the interior of a house.
Panel 1: The number 3 (red) speaks to the number 1 (blue).
3: "Honey! 2 is home from the war, but he's become irrational!"
Panel 2: The number 3 (red) reacts in shock.
3: "What?! Not 2! He was always... oh my god..."
Panel 3: The numbers 1 (blue) and 3 (red) stand together.
1 or 3: "He's been radicalized!"
Panel 4: A figure walks in: the square root of 2 (written as the radical sign over a 2), carrying a rifle and with a lit fuse/spark on its head.
Votey:
A person wearing glasses (the parent, drawn as a human here) holds a baby and gestures angrily. A large jeering shout fills the air: "BOOOO". A seated figure in the foreground (the radicalized 2) faces away, being booed.

A four-panel SMBC comic featuring anthropomorphized numbers inside a house. Panel 1: A red number 3 tells a blue number 1, "Honey! 2 is home from the war, but he's become irrational!" Panel 2: The red 3 reacts in shock: "What?! Not 2! He was always... oh my god..." Panel 3: The 1 and 3 stand together and one says, "He's been radicalized!" Panel 4: A figure walks in revealed to be the square root of 2 (the radical sign drawn over a 2) carrying a rifle, with a lit spark on top of its head. The joke: "irrational" and "radical" are math puns, since the square root of 2 is an irrational number written with a radical sign. The black-and-white votey shows a glasses-wearing parent holding a baby and gesturing angrily while a crowd jeers a loud "BOOOO" at a seated figure facing away.
