The mathematical horror story in two panels! That moment when you realize Euler's identity (e = -1) is correct, but then someone tries to "simplify" it with a square root and creates a mathematical abomination. The cartoon character's progression from confidence to confusion is basically every math student hitting that point in the semester where elegant equations suddenly transform into eldritch horrors. The square root of negative one is already imaginary—we don't need to make it extra imaginary by butchering beautiful equations!
