(x, why?) Mini: Reuleaux

(Click on the comic if you can't see the full image.)
(C)Copyright 2022, C. Burke. "AnthroNumerics" is a trademark of Christopher J. Burke and (x, why?).

Well-rounded and totally width it.

Obligatory Math (ObMath): Like a circle, a Reuleaux triangle has a constant width. I drew this by starting with an equilateral triangle (or what passes for one in MS Paint) and then adding 3 congruent circles such that each circle intercepted two of the vertices of the triangle. Then I deleted the rest of the circles. So, it's a little rough at the "corners" when I erased.

I could give some credit to the Math-a-Day calendar, which recently had a probably involving Reuleaux triangles. I thought I could add one to the "Shapes" theme. Sometime in the next week, I'll think of a joke I could've used instead of just "exchange" student, but nothing humorous came to me.
