XKCD Web Comic #961: Eternal Flame (described)

A web comic of romance,sarcasm, math, and language.

 

 

Scene: Black and white pastoral scene. Across the bottom of the scene is a brick path. Two stick figures, one sitting, one standing, are at the edge of the path. They are looking at a small memorial at the end of a short path made by round stepping stones. The stones lead up to and make a ring around the monument, which is reminiscent of the John F. Kennedy Eternal Flame, except that instead of a flame, there is a full-color spinning rainbow beachball.

Hover text: There’s always the hope that if you sit and watch for long enough, the beachball will vanish and the thing it interrupted will return.

 

Warning: this comic occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors).
