Do Math Geeks Dream of Electric Drabble?

Whoa! "Math Humor"! Can you think of anything funnier than math? I know I can't.
This is a big archive of mathgeek cartoons, mostly stuff like old "making fun of Linus for busting up the grading curve"-type Peanuts strips and lame-o Far Side knockoffs where something happens like this: Einstein gets drunk and falls off his chair! He didn't really mean to write "E=MC2," but he was DRUNK! Get it?!?
Like here's another example:
Kid is sitting in a classroom watching his teacher write on the blackboard. Kid says, "Just a darn minute! Yesterday you said X equals TWO!"
WAHAHAHA!
And so on. All that's missing here is that Very Special Family Circus one where little Billy comes up to Dad and says, "Daddy, Mommy said you were a square, but your head describes a circle. Teacher says that's not possible."
OK, I made that up. But wouldn't that have been a great Family Circus?
