Panel 1:
First man: Son, we don't need any fancy math when we run a hot dog company!
Panel 2:
Second man (the son): But you sell buns AND dogs, right?
Panel 3:
First man: So people want to be able to buy the same amount of dogs as buns. Surely they're sold in different quantities.
Panel 4:
Second man: So you can easily create ratios between the two that can never be equal, but you nonetheless... equality as the number of purchase gets infinitely large?
First man: OH MY GOD.
Panel 5 (caption: LATER THAT DAY):
Two signs are shown. One reads "BUNS 8th COUNT." The other reads "DOGS 6 COUNT."

A five-panel comic. In the first three panels, an older man tells his son that running a hot dog company needs no fancy math; the son points out that they sell both buns and dogs, and that people want to buy them in equal amounts even though they come in different quantities. In the fourth panel the son launches into a dense mathematical argument about creating ratios between buns and dogs that can never be equal but approach equality as purchases grow infinitely large, and the older man clutches his head crying 'OH MY GOD.' The final panel, captioned 'LATER THAT DAY,' shows two store signs that are themselves mismatched: one reads 'BUNS 8th COUNT' and the other 'DOGS 6 COUNT.' Votey (bonus panel): plain text reading '(LATER, THE CONSUMER FIGHTS BACK BY SQUARING THE QUANTITY OF BUNS).'
