Great meme. Post it on your door outside your office.
(This brings to mind the cartoons I would read as I went down the halls in college(s) and passed by the professors’ respective bulletin boards outside their offices. There were always cartoons; usually Gary Larson if my faded memory serves, but probably the New Yorker too–for the literature faculty types).
@6 No, they were much more serious. The professors seemed really worried and angry about nuclear bombs.

@7 I was just kidding. Seriously though, I can understand why. What a horrific corruption of that particular field of study.
My personal favorite was a poster of an angry curly-haired woman kicking a nuclear missile with the caption “Protest and survive!” which hung in my favorite independent bookstore (one of my favorite haunts in my teen years).
@9 Nice!! And thanks for the link. I always wondered who drew it. It kind of looked like a Shel Silverstein but not quite, not really. The lettering on the lower right hand side never really identified the artist. At least now I have an artist’s name so I can hopefully find reprints for sale. Thanks! :)
(Yes, I really loved that poster. I offered to buy it from the bookstore owners’ when they finally closed the business and retired but they said they were keeping it and hanging it in their home.)

Out of university with a computer science degree, my first job was at a genomics lab, writing software for processing and comparing sequences. My boss, a biologist from Australia, as I was learning life science things, insisted I couldn’t use the word ‘proof’ when talking about biological processes. “There are only proofs in maths”, he used to say. That was 30 years, ago, and the lesson’s still with me.

As a mathematician I feel this is missing some panels…

I’ve got spider photos posted outside my office. I think they’re a form of student repellent, I’m afraid.
Re #2
“‘Will you walk into my parlour?’ said the Spider to the Fly.”
Religions use the same meme they just reverse the captions.
@1 When I started studying physics in the 90s all the professors had posters against France’s nuclear bomb tests on their bulletin boards.
@5 Did any of them look like this?

@8 They failed to identify the artist.
It’s Opland.
