Panel 1:
Woman with dark hair and round glasses: I don't get why people are afraid of math.
Man with flame-like red hair: Come on! Math is ALWAYS pulling shit.
Panel 2:
Red-haired man: You have a dollar. You spend it. Now you have no dollars. That's subtraction. MATH did that.
Panel 3:
Red-haired man: You're in love with someone. You split up. Now the couple is 50% smaller. Who's at fault? MATH.
Panel 4:
Red-haired man: You're talking to somebody about math, and the whole time she's thinking, "He's making statements that are technically true, but based on an incorrect usage of the term 'math.'" That's logic, which is a form of math.
Panel 5:
Red-haired man: Other people are stupid. You're recursively stupid. MATH AGAIN!
Votey:
Handwritten text: Everyone with red hair is an idiot or a villain.

A five-panel comic. A woman with dark hair and round glasses talks with an animated red-haired man who blames everything on math. Panel 1: She says she doesn't get why people are afraid of math; he replies, "Come on! Math is ALWAYS pulling shit." Panel 2, gesturing: "You have a dollar. You spend it. Now you have no dollars. That's subtraction. MATH did that." Panel 3: "You're in love with someone. You split up. Now the couple is 50% smaller. Who's at fault? MATH." Panel 4, the woman now looking skeptical: "You're talking to somebody about math, and the whole time she's thinking, 'He's making statements that are technically true, but based on an incorrect usage of the term math.' That's logic, which is a form of math." Panel 5, shown only in silhouette: "Other people are stupid. You're recursively stupid. MATH AGAIN!" Votey (aftercomic): handwritten text on a plain panel reading, "Everyone with red hair is an idiot or a villain."
