A Valentine's comic. Panel 1, captioned “Every time I fell in love with someone, I gave him my heart,” shows an orange-haired woman facing a man across a big red heart. Panel 2, “Every time love fell apart, I came away with half of what was left,” shows four shrinking heart pieces labeled 1, ½, ¼, and ⅛. Panel 3, “Such that each new relationship was the victim of the last one's demise,” shows the heart fragments arranged in a tightening golden-ratio-style spiral that halves toward a tiny center. In the final panels the woman says “So I get... Happy Valentine's Day!” while holding out a heart reading “I love you with 1/2^14 of my heart!” — the joke being her love has been halved fourteen times over. Votey: a banner reads “Make your own!” above a blank heart with the fill-in-the-blank message “I love you with 1/2 to the (blank) of my heart!”
