A single-panel comic shows two cave-people in animal-skin clothing and sandals walking across a barren prehistoric landscape. The one on the left gestures and says in broken caveman speech, "ME ONLY WORK IN NUMBERS ABOVE SIX. IS NO APPLICATIONS." A caption beneath reads "Early pure mathematicians," joking that even in prehistoric times some people preferred abstract math with no practical use. The votey (a black-and-white bonus panel) shows one bearded cave-person continuing, "IF 'SEVEN' SHOW UP IN REAL WORLD PROBLEMS, ME ONLY INTERESTED IN UNDERLYING FABRIC OF REALITY."
