Panel 1 (single illustrated panel):
A man with brown hair and glasses, wearing a light blue shirt, reclines with a relaxed, smug expression and gestures with one hand. A blonde woman in a red top stands beside him, clutching her chest, looking aroused and flustered.
Woman: THAT SORTING ALGORITHM WAS SO... MMM... SO ELEGANT.
Man: OH, IT WAS NOTHING BABY.
Woman: PLEASE, DON'T WIGGLE YOUR FINGERS LIKE THAT. IF I IMAGINE YOU TYPING, I WON'T BE ABLE TO CONTROL MYSELF.
Below the panel is a line graph.
Y-axis label: COOLNESS OF SEX FANTASIES
X-axis label: EDUCATION
The curve spikes sharply up near the left (low education) and then decays steeply toward zero as education increases.
Votey:
Title: DETAIL
A hand-drawn close-up of a graph (same axes implied). Several curves and points are labeled with names of accomplished women:
- ELEANOR ROOSEVELT (labeling a point low on a descending curve at the left)
- MARIE CURIE (an arrow pointing down to the low/flat middle of the curve)
- LISE MEITNER (labeling the base of a sharp spike rising steeply at the right)

A webcomic. Main panel: a smug man with glasses and brown hair lounges and gestures while a flustered blonde woman in red clutches her chest, aroused. She says, "That sorting algorithm was so... mmm... so elegant." He replies, "Oh, it was nothing baby." She continues, "Please, don't wiggle your fingers like that. If I imagine you typing, I won't be able to control myself." Beneath the panel is a line graph titled with the y-axis "Coolness of sex fantasies" and the x-axis "Education." The curve spikes high at low education and decays sharply to near zero as education rises -- the joke being that finding programming skill sexy reflects low education, since the curve plummets with more learning. Votey, titled "Detail": a hand-drawn close-up of the graph labeling famous accomplished women along it -- Eleanor Roosevelt at a low point on the left, Marie Curie pointed out at the flat low middle, and Lise Meitner at the base of a steep spike rising at the far right.
