Main comic: A mock exam page titled "How to destroy a math class in one question." It reads "Problem 1 (100 points): Fill in this graph appropriately:" Below is an empty coordinate graph with a vertical and horizontal axis. The y-axis is labeled "EMPTINESS IN THIS GRAPH" and the x-axis is labeled "WIDTH OF THIS GRAPH." The graph is left entirely blank, the self-referential joke being that an empty graph correctly satisfies its own labeled axes. Votey: A single panel showing a man sitting at a desk with a speech bubble that says, "Graph jokes are this generation's knowing how to draw."
