LaTeX Pickup Lines Gone Wrong at a Bar

Description

A hand-drawn black and white cartoon showing a woman at a bar attempting to flirt with a man using LaTeX typesetting commands. Her speech bubble contains LaTeX code: '\begin{seduction-attempt} \setcounter{date}{2} \makeatletter So, is that an overfull hbox with badness 10000, or are you just happy to see me?\\ \makeatother \end{seduction-attempt}'. The confused man responds with 'Huh?'. The caption reads: 'To her horror, Annie realised there's no such thing as a LaTeX kink.' The humor plays on the double meaning of 'LaTeX' (the typesetting system vs. the material) and uses actual LaTeX commands like \begin, \setcounter, \makeatletter, and references the infamous 'overfull hbox badness 10000' warning
