Title across the top reads "HOW TO GET AN ECONOMIST TO SLEEP WITH YOU:". In a single panel against a purple background, a red-haired woman on the left addresses a man on the right who wears a dark suit, red tie, and round glasses. She says, "Hi there. I'm not going to try to seduce you." He asks, "Why not." She replies, "According to the efficient market hypothesis, you're already taken" — a flirtation built entirely out of economics jargon. In the votey (a simple line-drawing aftercomic), the same woman, shown alone, adds her closing line: "There's no diminishing marginal utility to sex with me."
