The Tragic Tale of Poor Sisyphus

A black-and-white line drawing shows Sisyphus pushing a boulder uphill, with three paths leading away: one to the Grand Hilbert Hotel (labeled with rooms n and n+1), one to the Ship of Theseus, and one to a figure cleaning a floor. The text explains the paradox: the hotel is full despite infinite rooms, diverting Sisyphus would destroy the ship which may not be the same ship due to all parts being replaced, and ends with the question 'Is Sisyphus happy?'
