Transcript
Panel 1 (woman, in thought, beside a partner whose bare arm is visible):
Woman (thinking): Oh god. No. He's doing that thing guys do where he waggles his dong around and I'm supposed to find it hot.
Panel 2 (woman, looking down, surprised):
Woman (thinking): Jesus Christ, why did I... oh my god. oh my god. Wait... is... is that...
Panel 3 (a tracing of the partner's anatomy showing a curving line):
Woman (thinking): Are you drawing an epicycloid curve with an irrational value for k?
Panel 4 (woman, delighted):
Woman (thinking): Like our love, it is a beautiful pattern that never repeats.
Panel 5 (woman clasping her hands, beaming):
Woman: This is SO romantic!
Votey:
Speech bubble (the partner): I need 4,000 rotations before I can be reasonably confident that it won't repeat.

A five-panel SMBC comic. A nude woman lies in bed with a partner. Panel 1, she thinks with dismay: "Oh god. No. He's doing that thing guys do where he waggles his dong around and I'm supposed to find it hot." Panel 2, she looks down, startled: "Jesus Christ, why did I... oh my god. oh my god. Wait... is... is that..." Panel 3 shows a curving looping line traced by the motion, and she thinks: "Are you drawing an epicycloid curve with an irrational value for k?" Panel 4, she gazes admiringly: "Like our love, it is a beautiful pattern that never repeats." Panel 5, she clasps her hands and beams: "This is SO romantic!" The joke: his crude gesture turns out to be tracing a never-repeating mathematical curve, which she finds romantic. Votey: a deadpan close-up of the partner saying, "I need 4,000 rotations before I can be reasonably confident that it won't repeat."
