A two-panel SMBC comic. A yellow title banner reads: "ECONOMICS FUN FACT: PAUL SAMUELSON GOT AROUND." In the main panel, against a maroon background, a smiling man in a gray suit, green bow tie, and white-framed glasses leans toward a blonde woman in a red top who stares ahead with a flat, unamused expression. He says: "Hey baby. If I gave you the right incentivization, would you reveal your preferences." The joke is a pickup line built from economist Paul Samuelson's revealed-preference theory. Votey (aftercomic): a simple cartoon character pokes the top of its head up from the bottom of an otherwise empty panel; text above reads "I am so sorry."
