$Three-panel comic. Panel 1: Teacher lecturing. Teacher: "A fractal is a shape made of smaller copies of itself. Try painting one, class!" Panel 2: Three students show their paintings of a Sierpinski triangle, a Sierpinski carpet, and of a square. Teacher: "Good job everyone… well, almost everyone. Patricia, that's just a square."

Teacher: "Okay, so I forgot a caveat…" Student 3: "I call it 'the Patricia Gasket'!"$
