A three-panel comic. A man with flame-like reddish hair talks with a dark-haired woman. Panel 1: he asks, 'Do you think Deborah is into me?' She replies, 'That girl who accidentally brushed your shoulder between classes?' He says, 'Yeah.' Panel 2: She says, 'You know, Edmund Harriss defines mathematics as anything you can think deeply about and use as reference to the real world.' Panel 3: He insists, 'My relationship with Deborah is not mathematics.' She dryly answers, 'Certainly not applied mathematics' — implying his crush is purely theoretical and one-sided. Votey (aftercomic): A loosely sketched smug face with the caption 'Your loneliness amuses me.'
