Panel 1:
Caption: BIOLOGISTS STUDY SEX AND SEXUALITY THE MOST SEX.
Man with stubble (pickup line): I KNOW EVERY MAMMAL SEX POSITION USED SINCE THE MESOZOIC ERA.
Second man: LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO THE TRIASSIC.
Panel 2:
Caption: CHEMISTS STUDY MOLECULAR ATTRACTION, AND THEY GET DEEP INTO IT.
Woman: BABY, IT IS COLD IN HERE? BECAUSE THE ODDS OF US BONDING JUST WENT UP.
Panel 3:
Caption: AND WHAT DO PHYSICISTS STUDY?
Person with glasses: THIS IS CALLED THE PRINCIPLE OF LEAST ACTION.
[A small figure labeled with what appears to be a physics notation/symbol slides toward another]
Votey:
Text (handwritten): YES, THAT'S O2 [the 2 is a subscript]
[Below: a drawing of two egg-like / atom-like shapes connected by a bond line, resembling two atoms bonded into a molecule]

A three-panel comic riffing on how different sciences approach attraction, each with a pickup-line gag. Panel 1, captioned that biologists study sex the most, shows a stubbled man telling another man, 'I know every mammal sex position used since the Mesozoic era,' and the second man replying, 'Let me introduce you to the Triassic.' Panel 2, captioned that chemists study molecular attraction and get deep into it, shows a woman saying, 'Baby, it is cold in here? Because the odds of us bonding just went up.' Panel 3 asks what physicists study; a bespectacled person says, 'This is called the principle of least action,' while a small figure slides toward another. In the votey aftercomic, handwritten text reads 'Yes, that's O2' (with a subscript 2) above a simple line drawing of two rounded atom-like shapes joined by a bond, depicting two atoms paired into a molecule as the punchline to the physicist's flirtation.
