A two-part SMBC comic. The main panel has a yellow caption banner reading: "FUN FACT: IT'S POSSIBLE TO MAKE A PANTSLESS MATHEMATICIAN CRY USING A SINGLE LETTER." Below, in a bedroom, two pantsless people face each other: a long-haired, bearded mathematician in a yellow t-shirt (shown from behind, bare-bottomed) and a woman in a red bikini who looks dismayed. A speech bubble aimed at the mathematician contains only the Greek letter ε (epsilon) — the symbol used in math for an arbitrarily small quantity, here implying a cutting comment about his small endowment. The votey (aftercomic) is a plain box with a single handwritten word: "Sorry."
