A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A man with glasses in a red shirt asks his young daughter, "Sally, did you clean your room like I told you to?" She replies, "I IDN'T IDN'T." Panel 2: He says "What?" and she explains, "'IDN'T' is the imaginary negation. Use it twice and it changes to 'didn't.' Four times, it returns to 'did.'" Panel 3: He says "So..." and she answers, "I IDN'T IDN'T IDN'T IDN'T NOT." Panel 4: He asks, "Is this a real thing or did you make it up?" and she simply says, "I IDN'T." The joke is a play on imaginary numbers, where 'idn't' behaves like the imaginary unit i, cycling through negations. Votey aftercomic: A loose black-and-white sketch captioned "PEOPLE LOVE RELATEABLE HUMOR" shows a performer standing at a podium on stage addressing two seated audience members, one of whom is labeled "Pokemon."
