Comic Description:

Panel 1:

• A woman with short brown hair, wearing a yellow shirt, looks concerned. She is speaking to another character, who is sitting at a desk and holding a pencil, looking at a piece of paper.
• Text from the woman: "Oh, that's gonna be embarrassing."
• Text from the seated character: "What is?"

Panel 2:

• The seated character explains while writing.
• Text: "I got tired of lazy math students, so now, every time someone submits a graph with an unlabeled axis, I write in 'my level of arousal' in their handwriting and post it on my door."

Panel 3:

• The woman looks thoughtful or slightly worried.

Panel 4:

• A graph is depicted below her. The x-axis is labeled "Armadillo population density" and the y-axis is labeled "My level of arousal!".
• The graph shows a rising line indicating a positive correlation.

The comic humorously critiques the lack of effort in labeling graphs by students in a math class.
