XKCD Web Comic #987: Potential (described)

 

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

 

Panel One: Drawing of an explosion in the lower right corner of the panel with the word “BOOM”.

Caption: When teacher complain,”You’re not working at your full potential!”

Panel Two: A car comes flipping end over end from the right with the word “CRASH”.

Caption: Don’t take it too hard.

Panel Three: Tiny stick figures run to the left,  screaming, “It’s headed this way!”, “Somebody stop him!!” and “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” as a six-tentacle-legged monster robot picks up another car, shaking a stick figure out. Two helicopters circle above the monstrosity. Atop the six tentacle legs is a clear dome where a stick figure can be seen working several control levers that whir, click and beep.

Caption: They complain way more when you do.

Hover text: The bunch of disadvantaged kids I was tutoring became too good at writing, and their essays were forcing me to confront painful existential questions, so I started trying to turn them on to drugs and crime instead.

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).
