A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a dark-haired woman says she loves exploring her own mental processes more than most people realize. Panel 2: a man with flame-like spiky hair laughs and says he imagines his brain is a mine he explores, digging up precious things scattered and hard to find; the woman replies a flat 'Huh.' Panel 3: the woman looks uncertain and says she might try that sometime. Panel 4: the scene cuts to two miners in hard hats deep underground swinging pickaxes at a rock wall; one shouts to notify the foreman that they've found a rich new vein of 'shame.' Votey: a close-up of a serious, furrowed miner who adds that the vein is buried deep down in elementary school, but it's quite rich.
