* AnthropomorphicTypography: Ralph Philips is asked to solve a math problem on the chalkboard. Looking at the high pile of numbers, he imagines them laughing at him. He gets even by knocking them over, and a five fights him with a four as a sword. Ralph stabs him to death with the line at the bottom of the equation, and that sets the other numbers chasing after him. He fights them off by using the letters on top of the chalkboard as weapons - a D and Y as a bow and arrow, a J as a rifle with its dot and the I dot as bullets.
