A while ago there was a post in the n-Category Caf?? with a nice picture
on this:
https://golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2012/01/vorsicht_funktor.html

"Caution! Funktor! [meaning: remote control gate] Keep 2 m back."

Definitely a picture to be shown in an introductory lecture on category
theory (well, maybe not...)

Best regards,
Albert
