Single-panel SMBC comic. A blonde woman in a red dress recoils, raising a hand against the chest of a smiling young man in a red jacket who leans in close. She shouts "NO! NO!" He replies with a smug grin, "Your expression says no, but your double-negative says yes." A caption below reads: "Oh no!" thought Sandy. "Why did I decide to go to the grammar fraternity." The joke: he willfully misreads her two negatives as a positive, turned creepy by the frat-party setting.

Votey (aftercomic): A loose black-and-white sketch of a woman's head, looking down and away with a tired, dejected expression. Above her is the question "WHAT ARE YOU DRIVING AT?" and a speech bubble nearby answers "NEVERMIND."
