Panel 1:
Two green aliens sit inside the cockpit of a spacecraft, viewed through a windshield with stars and a moon outside.
Left alien: "WHY HAVE HUMANS NOT YET MASTERED WARP PROPULSION?!"
Right alien: "THEY STILL RELY ON A RIDICULOUS FORM OF MATHEMATICS CALLED 'ADDITION.'"

Caption (below panel): Sadly, it isn't until 2087 that scientists realize 2 + 2 is actually very slightly less than 4.

Votey:
A round face or circular dial speaks in a speech bubble.
Voice: "Stupid rounding errors."

A comic panel shows two green big-eyed aliens sitting in the cockpit of a spaceship, with stars and a moon visible through the windshield. The left alien demands, "Why have humans not yet mastered warp propulsion?!" The right alien replies, "They still rely on a ridiculous form of mathematics called 'Addition.'" A caption below reads: "Sadly, it isn't until 2087 that scientists realize 2 + 2 is actually very slightly less than 4." Votey: a simple hand-drawn circular dial with notch marks around its edge complains in a speech bubble, "Stupid rounding errors."
