A two-part comic. Top: in a lab, an excited scientist in a white coat and green shirt leaps with one arm raised, shouting "LOOK! LOOK! I FOUND A DIRECT CORRELATION!" A skeptical woman in a red shirt and glasses replies "WITH WHAT?!" Below them is a hand-drawn line graph with a straight rising line; its y-axis reads 'TIMES YELLING "DIRECT CORRELATION"' and its x-axis reads 'QUESTIONS ASKED ABOUT IT' — the only thing his correlation correlates with is his own shouting about it. Votey (bonus panel): another rising-line graph with the y-axis 'DRAWING GRAPH JOKES' and the x-axis 'LONELINESS,' a self-deprecating jab at the cartoonist.
