Panel 1:
A bar setting. A blonde woman in a red dress holding a martini glass leans toward a man with orange/flame-like hair in a green polo shirt.
Woman: HEY THERE. HOW ABOUT WE GO TO THE RESTROOM, LOCK THE DOOR, AND I BLOW YOUR MIND.
Panel 2 (orange banner reading "SOON..."):
The two are now in the restroom. The blonde woman speaks to the orange-haired man, who looks dazed and emotional.
Woman: e^(iπ) = -1
Man: WHOOOAAA. BUT... DAMMIT. BUT... WHOOOAAAA.
Votey:
A roughly sketched man looks up, awestruck, at a speech bubble containing a mathematical formula.
Speech bubble (the formula): φ = √(1 + √(1 + √(1 +...)))
Man: OH BABY

A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: In a bar, a blonde woman in a red dress holding a martini leans close to a man with orange flame-like hair in a green shirt and says, "HEY THERE. HOW ABOUT WE GO TO THE RESTROOM, LOCK THE DOOR, AND I BLOW YOUR MIND." Panel 2, under an orange banner reading "SOON...": the two stand in the restroom, and the woman recites the famous Euler's identity, "e^(iπ) = -1." The man, looking overwhelmed and dazed, gasps, "WHOOOAAA. BUT... DAMMIT. BUT... WHOOOAAAA." The joke: "blowing his mind" turns out to mean dazzling him with elegant mathematics. Votey (a small extra panel, roughly hand-drawn): a man gazes up in awe at a speech bubble showing the nested-radical expression for the golden ratio, φ = √(1 + √(1 + √(1 +...))), and exclaims, "OH BABY."
