A two-panel comic titled "NEVER TAKE A MATHEMATICIAN TO THE ZOO." In the main panel, a red-bearded man and a dark-haired woman in round glasses stand at a zoo enclosure surrounded by trees. The woman looks bored and unimpressed as she says, "Pfft. A gazelle is just a giraffe, plotted logarithmically." The joke: she reduces the animals to mathematical transformations of one another. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the woman's glum, disappointed face as she mutters, "Lousy buncha toroids," dismissively reducing the zoo animals to geometric shapes.
