This is calculus escalation at its finest! The first panel shows a cat calmly accepting the trivial identity dx/dx = 1. The second panel? Still cool with the chain rule simplification. But that third panel—where differential algebra goes completely bonkers with terms flying everywhere—triggers pure mathematical hysteria. It's like watching someone peacefully solving basic equations until suddenly they're thrown into the differential equation thunderdome. The perfect visualization of that moment when your professor says "this is just a simple application" and then writes something that looks like it summoned a math demon.
