Setting: A man with dark hair and a woman with red hair stand in front of a chalkboard covered in mathematical equations (ln f(λ), λ - λ_0 i, mλ/n, etc.). The woman is scolding the man.
Woman (red hair): I told you two weeks ago to use a Simpson's approximation.
Man (dark hair): I know. Don't say it, Shirley.
Woman: Remember how you said men were better at math?
Man: Don't say it, Shirley.
Man: You've been...
Man: DON'T.

A comic panel shows a dark-haired man and a red-haired woman standing before a chalkboard full of equations. The woman scolds him: 'I told you two weeks ago to use a Simpson's approximation.' He replies, 'I know. Don't say it, Shirley.' She continues, 'Remember how you said men were better at math?' He pleads again, 'Don't say it, Shirley.' She presses, 'You've been...' and he cries 'DON'T.' Below, a large hand-lettered caption reads 'EMATHCULATED!' — a pun on 'emasculated' combined with 'math,' the punchline she was about to land. Votey aftercomic: a boxed note titled 'SOLID GOLD MATH HUMOR:' reads 'Q: What did the mathematician give to the man who ogled his wife? A: i³' — a math pun where i is the imaginary unit (i cubed equals minus i, read aloud as a threat/insult).
