Comic Strip Title: "The Formula for Love"

Summary:

The comic strip follows a conversation between a man and a woman, Helen, who is looking for a date. The man, who is balding, proposes a formula to calculate the ratio of earnings potential to height and baldness, which he believes will determine their compatibility.

Panel 1:

• The man introduces himself and asks Helen if she's interested in dating.
• Helen responds that she brought her resume, implying she's looking for a potential partner.

Panel 2:

• The man explains his formula, which takes into account earnings potential, height, and baldness.
• Helen is skeptical but agrees to hear him out.

Panel 3:

• The man reveals that his own earnings potential is high, but his height and baldness are low.
• Helen calculates the ratio and determines that they are not compatible.

Panel 4:

• The man asks Helen if she'll still date him on different nights.
• Helen responds that she'll pass, but thanks him for the offer.

Overall:

The comic strip pokes fun at the idea that people can be reduced to formulas and statistics when it comes to love and relationships. It highlights the absurdity of trying to quantify human connection and the importance of considering individual qualities beyond just physical appearance or financial success.
