A two-panel comic titled "Economist Pickup Lines." In the main panel, a bespectacled man with reddish hair and a green shirt, holding a notepad, leans toward a blonde woman in a blue top and says, "Hey baby. If I told you you had a beautiful body, would it improve your self esteem to a threshold at which you'd have no interest in me?" The woman looks unimpressed. The votey (titled "Also...") shows a grinning man saying, "Girl, let's get some horizontal equity" — a pun on the economics term for equal treatment of equals.
