Panel 1
Woman (lying down, red hair): I had this dream where I was a huge elongated tube traveling down a narrow shaft.
Bald man with gray beard (the analyst): Really?! Did you have a sort of cold sensation?!
Woman: Freezing! Like a physical embodiment of the lost connection with my mother!
Caption (below panel): Psychoanalysts: Easiest group to screw with since 1895.
Votey:
A handwritten note on a sheet of paper:
Dear Zach,
Psychoanalysis is a real science! Watch - I can add the prefix "neuro" to it: neuropsychoanalysis. Bam!
Sincerely,
The Internet
PS: So are neuro-Buddhism, neuro-alchemy, and neuro-cartooning.

A webcomic. A red-haired woman reclines (as if on a therapist's couch) while a bald, gray-bearded man in a suit and tie listens. Woman: "I had this dream where I was a huge elongated tube traveling down a narrow shaft." Analyst, eagerly: "Really?! Did you have a sort of cold sensation?!" Woman: "Freezing! Like a physical embodiment of the lost connection with my mother!" The patient is clearly feeding the analyst whatever symbolic interpretation he's fishing for. Caption below: "Psychoanalysts: Easiest group to screw with since 1895." Votey (aftercomic): a handwritten note reads, "Dear Zach, Psychoanalysis is a real science! Watch - I can add the prefix 'neuro' to it: neuropsychoanalysis. Bam! Sincerely, The Internet. PS: So are neuro-Buddhism, neuro-alchemy, and neuro-cartooning." The joke: slapping 'neuro' on something doesn't make it scientific.
