Panel 1:
A man in a brown suit (referred to in the caption as Doctor Greene) stands beside a presentation diagram labeled "FIG. 7" depicting a complex purple swirling, knotted blob. He has his hand thoughtfully near his mouth.

Speech (Doctor Greene): "THERE MAY BE UP TO ELEVEN DIMENSIONS, MANY OF WHICH ARE BOUND UP IN SMALL, TIGHT, TIGHT SPACES. BOUND UP AND GAGGED."

Caption (below panel): "Doctor Greene postulates hyper-porno."

Votey:
A muscular, shirtless man stands in a doorway facing a woman with short curly hair.
Woman: "PROFESSOR GREENE... WHY... WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE PHYSICS LAB?"
Shirtless man: "I HEARD YOU WERE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE TOPOLOGY OF YOUR ORBIFOLDS."

A man in a brown suit ("Doctor Greene") gives a lecture beside a slide labeled FIG. 7 showing a complex purple swirling knotted blob. He says there may be up to eleven dimensions, many bound up in small, tight, tight spaces — "bound up and gagged." The caption reads: "Doctor Greene postulates hyper-porno," framing his physics talk as innuendo. Votey: a muscular shirtless man stands in a doorway as a woman with short curly hair asks, "Professor Greene... why... what are you doing in the physics lab?" He replies, "I heard you were having a problem with the topology of your orbifolds" — a porn-movie setup using real string-theory jargon.
