My guess: He's proud of the job he did researching the equations (and "Lorentz factor" terminology), but he's angry because he had to draw the same set of equations from different angles in four different panels...

Same same.

Wait, is Marbear pronounced marr-bear or Mare-bear? I've been pronouncing it the first way.

It would have to be the latter. It's a name her friends gave her and a rif on her given name, so it would keep the original first syllable. Only someone who had seen her name only in print and never heard it pronounced would use the former.

That's assuming you pronounce Mari like Mary (in English, though that's pretty much a given in this setting). /ˈmarɪɡəʊld/ is an accepted pronunciation of the flower, though, so Marr-bear has always made sense to me.
BenRG:
This is another comic that strongly suggests that, whoever and whatever Emily Azuma may be, she isn't a baseline human. The fact that she seemed to intuitively know what at 'Lorentz Factor' coffee would be without an eye-blink really does suggest that she isn't entirely bound to conventional time and space! :-o
Meanwhile, poor Dora and Marigold are both clearly in the position where they have to deal with the fact that something happened in front of them that, not only did they not understand, they may have been unable to perceive. Emily as SCP-5001? SpookyBot is SCP-001, of course.

I'm guessing because it's complete nonsense. :clairedoge:
