Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic panels:

Panel 1:
A woman with curly, gray hair and glasses is speaking to another woman with shoulder-length brown hair. The gray-haired woman says, "Only young people do revolutionary mathematics." The background shows a light-colored wall and blue sky.

Panel 2:
The same gray-haired woman gestures, discussing age categories. She says, “20 is ancient. 15 is old. 10 is middle-aged.” The scene continues with a backdrop of a building and two additional people walking in the distance.

Panel 3:
A woman resembling the one from the first panel with the brown hair is now standing with a little girl who has bright red hair. The little girl holds up three fingers, exclaiming, "Three is THIS MANY."

Panel 4:
The gray-haired woman looks puzzled, and the brown-haired woman responds, "It's counter-intuitive, but we must accept it." The two women are looking at each other, showing expressions of contemplation.

The comic features humor centered around perceptions of age and the simplification of counting. The panels use a clean, cartoonish style with a mix of dialogue and gestures that add to the comedic effect.
