I was a little thrown by the "e/1" part, I would have just written "e." In
any case, the number in the 'cartoon' seems to be irrational, and Eric
Weisstein has very recently added it to the OEIS
(A182369<http://oeis.org/A182369>).
Just now, I have selected it as the Sequence of the Day for May 3rd.
