Panel 1:
An old bald man with a fringe of white hair and round dark glasses, wearing a red polo shirt, leans forward and points at the viewer. He speaks in a large speech bubble.
Old man: "OF COURSE, IN THE FUTURE WE WON'T NEED COMPUTERS. WE'LL ALL JUST STRAP DOGS TO OUR BRAINS AND BEAM EACHOTHER PSYCHIC BARKS!"

Caption below the comic:
"Believe it or not, this comic will seem a lot less nonsensical in the very near future.

(You know, after your stroke.)"

Votey:
A caption box reads "SOON...". A dog has been strapped to a person's head (the dog sits atop the head like a helmet). A thought/speech bubble coming from the dog reads: "WORST. COMIC. EVER."

Main comic: A single panel showing an old bald man with a fringe of white hair, round dark glasses, and a red polo shirt. He leans forward and points at the viewer, declaring in a large speech bubble: "Of course, in the future we won't need computers. We'll all just strap dogs to our brains and beam eachother psychic barks!" A caption beneath reads: "Believe it or not, this comic will seem a lot less nonsensical in the very near future. (You know, after your stroke.)" The joke is that the man's statement is gibberish that would only make sense to someone whose brain isn't working right.

Votey: A small black-and-white panel labeled "SOON..." shows a dog literally strapped onto the top of a person's head like a helmet, fulfilling the man's prediction. A thought bubble from the dog reads: "Worst. Comic. Ever."
