Identity

Panel 1:
A large equation is displayed inside a hand-drawn box:
(e^i)^0 = (2π/τ)'
Caption below the box:
Weinersmith's Identity has been far less popular than Euler's Identity, despite having far more fundamental constants.
Votey:
Weinersmith's Identity is also way more useful because you can't do math unless 1=1.

A single-panel comic. A large hand-drawn box contains a mock mathematical equation written in chalkboard-style script: (e raised to i) raised to the 0 power equals (2 pi over tau) prime. A caption beneath reads: "Weinersmith's Identity has been far less popular than Euler's Identity, despite having far more fundamental constants." The joke is that this equation is stuffed with famous mathematical constants (e, i, pi, tau) but, after evaluating the exponents and derivative, both sides simply reduce to 1 = 1, a trivially true and useless statement. Votey (aftercomic): a small panel of handwritten text reading: "Weinersmith's Identity is also way more useful because you can't do math unless 1=1."
