Here’s my take on it, as the...Okay, SPOILERS BELOW. Here’s my take on it, as the creator. In fact, I've realized there’s three takes on it:<br /><br />(1) As a comic<br />Panel 1 has no dialogue balloon (and no hands to draw).<br />Panel 2 has no visible eyes (and no colour red).<br />Panel 3 is on it’s side (and no caption).<br />Panel 4 has a background (my poor attempt at drawing ‘The Scream’).<br /><br />That’s probably easiest to see as an artist. Backgrounds are a pain in the ass.<br /><br />(2) As math personifications<br />Panel 1 is stock footage (old trig).<br />Panel 2 is an inverse, thus the only male.<br />Panel 3 is the only non-trig.<br />Panel 4 is a reciprocal function, hence the only tie.<br /><br />By “stock footage”, I mean she’s the old Cosine (a pic from 2012 in fact) - the new Cosine is brown skinned. In fact, in this comic you’ve got caucasian, brown, asian and black characters. I’ve been trying to diversify. Using the “old Cos” in Panel 1 is why I felt I needed this after “Unification” last week, bringing the groups together. (Which at least 50 people/bots did see...)<br /><br />(3) As math<br />Honestly, I hadn’t even really considered this until Audrey and John’s comments. Audrey also tweeted at me this afternoon that symmetry could be a thing.<br />Panel 1, single non-zero y-int?<br />Panel 2 has a clear maximum and minimum for domain.<br />Panel 3 is not a function.<br />Panel 4 has infinite asymptotes. And I'm inclined to agree with Audrey's remark of less symmetry.<br /><br />I guess this shows that I create first, and do the math later. What I love here how readers considered things I didn’t. Hope you had fun, however you played, if you did!

Hy...Hyperbola is non-periodic... but so is Arcsin. Hyperbola's not a function, though! And only conic section. And only sideways panel. Arcsin has a compact domain, not sure if that's fair since hyp is not a function. Cotan is the only one with vertical asymptotes.
