Panel 1:
A bespectacled man in a white lab coat and tie holds a folder/clipboard, speaking proudly.
Man (scientist): "So far, our strategy of making gay men sleep with several attractive women at once has turned 100% of them heterosexual."
Panel 2 (a yellow notepad / chart):
Two columns.
Left column header: "CONTROL GROUP" — entry: "Someone else."
Right column header: "EXPERIMENTAL GROUP" — entry: "Me."
Votey:
Two men shown close up. One man (the dreaming scientist) appears bleary/half-asleep; the other man grins and gives a thumbs-up.
Grinning man: "Doctor! You fell asleep! Now, back to our research on algae growth patterns."

A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a smug bespectacled scientist in a white lab coat holds a folder and declares, "So far, our strategy of making gay men sleep with several attractive women at once has turned 100% of them heterosexual." Panel 2: a handwritten chart on a yellow notepad with two columns. The "Control Group" column reads "Someone else." and the "Experimental Group" column reads "Me." — revealing the study has a single subject (himself), so his "100%" result is just his own wishful thinking. Votey aftercomic: a close-up of two men; the bleary scientist is being woken by a grinning man giving a thumbs-up who says, "Doctor! You fell asleep! Now, back to our research on algae growth patterns." The grand experiment was only a daydream during actual algae research.
