epsilon
Original: epsilon on Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
Transcript
Panel 1:
A villain in lab attire (gloved, wearing glasses, seen in profile in the foreground) addresses a man standing between two giant mathematical symbols.
Villain: "AND NOW, GOOD DOCTOR, WE WILL SEE HOW YOU FIT BETWEEN THIS DELTA AND THIS EPSILON!"
The man (green-shirted, with glasses) stands on a floor between an enormous delta symbol (δ) on the left and an enormous epsilon symbol (ε) on the right, which are positioned like the blades of a closing trap.
Caption (below panel): Soon, soon the calculus teacher would become arbitrarily small.
Votey:
Close-up of the villain's face, leering, with a hand gesturing.
Villain: "Your suffering shall be without limit!"

A villain in lab gear and glasses, shown in profile in the foreground, gloats at a man in a green shirt who stands trapped on the floor between two enormous math symbols: a delta (δ) on his left and an epsilon (ε) on his right, arranged like jaws about to close. The villain says, "And now, good doctor, we will see how you fit between this delta and this epsilon!" A caption beneath reads: "Soon, soon the calculus teacher would become arbitrarily small" — a pun on the epsilon-delta definition of a limit. Votey: a hand-drawn close-up of the villain's leering face as he declares, "Your suffering shall be without limit!"
