A single panel styled as a mock mathematical proof. A yellow title banner reads "A MORE SUCCINCT PROOF." The body, on a pale lavender background, lays out a bullet-point argument that there are infinite prime numbers: "If there weren't infinite primes, that other proof of infinite primes wouldn't work. It does work. Therefore (∴) there are infinite primes" — a circular argument that assumes its own conclusion. Votey: a plain black-and-white panel headed "EVEN MORE SUCCINCT," with two bullets pushing the joke further: "There just are, OKAY?!" and "∴ There are."
