A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A man with orange hair walks in saying, "Hi, I'm here for the support group on fear of mathematics." Panel 2: A woman facilitator replies, "Right this way, sir. Just have a seat in the circle." Panel 3 (captioned "SOON..."): The facilitator stands before the seated group holding papers and says, "Welcome, welcome. Before we begin, can I interest anyone in lottery tickets or a whole life insurance policy?" The joke: a support group for people afraid of math is the perfect place to sell products that prey on bad math (lottery tickets, whole life insurance). Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of the orange-haired man holding up both hands with fingers extended, unsure how to count, saying, "This many please" — he can't articulate a number, underscoring his fear of math.
