A two-panel SMBC comic styled as lecture slides. Panel 1 is headed "PSYCH 101" and shows a glasses-wearing lecturer pointing to a projected slide reading "Phobias can be extinguished by repeated exposure to the feared stimulus." Panel 2 is headed "PSYCH 102" and shows another lecturer pointing to a slide reading "Sex is SCARY!" (with SCARY in big jagged green letters). The caption under the comic reads "Only to women!" — a punchline implying the previous slide's claim about exposure curing fear applies, crudely, to women and sex. The bonus votey panel is headed "PSYCH 103" and shows a stick-figure-simple lecturer pointing to a slide that reads "The baby isn't mine."
