So for whatever reason, I’ve decided that I’m not allowed to decorate my office door with cartoons and the like until (unless) I get tenure.

That’s…that’s just the rule.

BUT, while I was running this morning, I thought of a cool way to display said cartoons should I actually get tenure. I could make like a little Cartesian plane on my door with one axis that goes from “no math” to “math” and another axis that goes from “not obscure” to “obscure” and then plot a bunch of cartoons according to these to criteria.

If that’s not a perfect way to display cartoons in a math/stats department, then there isn’t one.
