Single panel:
A young man with brown hair, glasses, and a purple shirt stands at a large green chalkboard, holding a piece of chalk and gesturing to his proof.

Chalkboard text:
sex = awesome
online roleplaying games = awesome
∴ online roleplaying games = sex
(with an underline beneath, as in a completed equation)

Caption below the panel:
Math says I'm not a virgin!

Votey:
Two people talking. The man on the right, wearing sunglasses and a cap, speaks to a person on the left.
Person on left: "YOU WENT FOR 27 HOURS?!"
Man on right: "Non-stop baby."

A young man in a purple shirt and glasses stands at a green chalkboard holding chalk, presenting a logical 'proof.' The board reads: 'sex = awesome' and 'online roleplaying games = awesome,' concluding (with a therefore symbol) 'online roleplaying games = sex,' complete with an underline as though the equation is solved. The caption below reads: 'Math says I'm not a virgin!' The joke: by transitive logic, he claims his marathon gaming counts as sex. Votey (aftercomic, black-and-white): two people talk; one exclaims 'YOU WENT FOR 27 HOURS?!' and the other, in sunglasses and a cap, coolly replies 'Non-stop baby.' — the boast extends the gaming-as-sex gag to an absurd 27-hour 'session.'
