A scientist in a white lab coat is being interviewed by a man in a fedora who takes notes on a pad. The scientist excitedly announces, "We connected a computer's CPU directly into a rat's cerebral cortex!" The interviewer asks, "Amazing! And what were your findings?" The scientist gestures and replies, "Rats HATE that!" In the votey aftercomic, a close-up shows the same bald, bespectacled scientist grinning and holding up a book titled "RAT HUMAN STUDIES 92-07," adding, "They also hate kickin'." The joke deflates the grand premise of brain-computer experiments into mundane, obvious findings.
