Main comic (a single image of a yellow test/worksheet paper with printed instructions and handwritten work):
Printed text at top:
Show your work and box in your answers.
1) x2 + 6x + 9 = x + 3
Solve for x.
Handwritten algebra work below:
x² + 6x + 9 = x + 3
x² + 6x = x - 6
x² = -5x - 6
x = [boxed answer]
The final boxed "answer" reads (in handwriting):
I know you're sleeping with the principal's wife
Marked in large red pen across the bottom of the paper: A++
Votey:
A bald man (the principal) shouts angrily, leaning forward:
Principal: I KNOW ABOUT YOU AND MY WIFE!
A second figure, seen from behind, raises a hand nervously and replies:
Other man: UHH... A++?

A handwritten algebra test on yellow paper. Printed instructions say "Show your work and box in your answers. 1) x2 + 6x + 9 = x + 3. Solve for x." The handwritten work proceeds normally through a few steps, then instead of a numeric solution the final boxed answer reads "x = I know you're sleeping with the principal's wife." A teacher has graded it with a big red "A++." Votey: A bald, furious principal leans in shouting "I KNOW ABOUT YOU AND MY WIFE!" while the teacher, shown from behind raising a hand, nervously offers "Uhh... A++?" — implying the high grade was a desperate bribe that didn't work.
