M & D Deep Duck and deeper Dog.

[Monte Davis]

The Pynchon Wiki is your friend, Mark:

Freshman calculus gag. The antiderivative or integral of the function 1/x
is the function logarithm of x. Written (integral sign) 1/x dx = log x.
Substitute (Book) for x. Answer: log (Book) = logbook.

The same gag appears in GR: 'integral of 1 over cabin d cabin = Log cabin +
c = houseboat'.
