Mnemonic comic for 二
Mnemonic
Mnemonic symbol: a capacitor, because the two strokes remind me of the symbol in electrical drawings. Albert Einstein (Ø) is experimenting with a capacitor (二) in the space station's bathroom (Ø4). He finds that it's uncomfortable to discharge a capacitor using two flutes (一).
Comments
I bet he wonders if that happens every time.

Zorro (z) dropped a whole case of water bottles (氵) in the elevator's kitchen (e2) and they all break. He notices how the water forms a small pond (泽) which heats up in the summer's heat, making the air humid (泽). He first marks the danger zone by ramming dinosaur bones (丨) in the ground and sticking red boxing gloves (又) on top of them. Additionally he connects all these poles with wire and capacitors (二) to make an electric fence. He then starts to enjoy his very private hot spring by floating in the pond.
