Why Is Number 8 Invisible? A Math Humor Comic #1579762 (License: Personal Use)

This three-panel comic humorously illustrates a math-themed joke: numbers 2 and 3 introduce their new friend, 8, but no one else can see him-until √1 (which equals 1) appears and “beats” him, revealing his presence. The punchline plays on the visual similarity between the numeral 8 and the symbol for infinity (∞), and the fact that √1 = 1, which looks like a stick figure that can “see” or interact with 8. It’s a clever blend of visual puns and elementary algebra.
