No such function exists. Continuity on the compact closed unit disk makes bounded near the origin. The removable singularity for a bounded harmonic function extends harmonically across the origin. The extended function is continuous on the closed disk and vanishes on its boundary, so the maximum principle for harmonic functions, applied to both and , forces throughout the disk. This contradicts .
