Panel 1:
A man with flame-like red hair (foreground, in profile, mouth open as if reacting) faces a chalkboard. A bald man in a teal shirt stands at the chalkboard holding a piece of chalk, looking glum.
Text on the chalkboard:
P = probability of you sending a sexy text to the wrong person in your contact list
C = number of contacts you have
N = number of parents you have
X = number of texts you'll send this year
PX(N/C) = number of sexy texts you will send to a parent this year
Panel 2 (banner header): EARLIER...
The red-haired man (now seen reading a sheet of paper) and the other man (dark-skinned, in a teal shirt) talk.
Red-haired man: JEEZ... GLOBAL WARMING MODELS ARE THE SCARIEST EQUATIONS IN THE UNIVERSE.
Other man: OH YEAH?
Votey:
A rough sketch of a bearded man slumped at a desk, with a thought bubble above him.
Thought bubble: Note to self: Never send personal messages to anyone

Two-panel comic. Panel 1: A red-haired man, shown in profile and looking alarmed, stares at a chalkboard where a glum bald man in a teal shirt holds chalk. The chalkboard defines variables: P = probability of sending a sexy text to the wrong contact, C = number of contacts, N = number of parents, X = number of texts you'll send this year. The derived formula reads PX(N/C) = number of sexy texts you will send to a parent this year. Panel 2, headed 'EARLIER...': the red-haired man reads a paper and says 'Jeez... global warming models are the scariest equations in the universe,' to which the other man replies 'Oh yeah?' The joke: the 'scariest equation' turns out to be the one calculating accidental sexy texts to your parents. Votey: a rough sketch of a bearded man slumped at a desk with a thought bubble reading 'Note to self: Never send personal messages to anyone.'
