If only this worked on teachers!
(Perhaps this comic should have been about how mathematicians reproduce asexually?)

Try it out before looking at a possible solution below! Each line corresponds to a different box in the image above (ordered along the path). There's a shorter/cleaner version of the story in the text after the image.
Shorter version:
Once upon a time there was a boy who worked very hard and made lots of money (increasing his wealth). However, the boy was lonely and felt empty inside so he went to seek out a girl. He found a girl and stalked her in her neighborhood, but the girl wanted to be independent and earn her fair share. Thus, the two commuted to work together. They conversed more and more and discovered they had complimentary traits. The two decided to become a couple and things grew more complex between them. They took the plunge and joined hands in the union of marriage and proceeded to multiply together. Nine months later, the girl had contractions and became the parent of two lovely children. The couple had several memorable moments together, and lived the remainder of their lives united as one.

I thought this was pretty neat:
The source for the text above is by anonymous_28657 from Reddit, who heard it from a Hungarian colleague, who heard it from someone else... It also shows up as a way to annoy your Physics prof (see #14), and the technique is described in this book. If you can afford it, you can get yourself a planimeter to help with your definite integrals.
