I don't really see the d/dx as being related to the partials in that way. Rather, I see d/dx as being the adorable, but ultimately prosaic/limited child where as the partials are the intellectual full-grown adults. The partials understand that in our imperfect Universe it's very rare to be able to differentiate fully. Usually, in the *real* world, we must settle for only a partial answer.

Hello my fellow math geeks. My name is Mike and I am the creator
of Spiked Math Comics, a math comic dedicated to humor, educate
and entertain the geek in you. Beware though, there might be some
math involved :D
hey I never realized you have a link to your own website lol :)
LOL!
PHYSICS PATROL I'd prefer the full one to be d/dt (and partials d/dx, d/dy and d/dz), could make more sense that way ;[
Meh. This particular comic is highly derivative. ;-)
But it's definitely the limit!
This strip is an integral part of my day.
I am partial towards comics such as these, from which I derive much humor.
