A single-panel comic on a teal background filled with big hand-lettered text that reads: 'THE FUTURE WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM THE PRESENT TO SOME DEGREE AT SOME POINT, AND I HAVE ANECDOTES AND HEARSAY TO PROVE IT.' A small decorative flourish sits beneath the text. A caption under the panel reads: 'There. Now you never have to watch an economics show again.' The joke mocks the vague, evidence-light punditry of TV economics programs. The votey (aftercomic) is a heavily black-bordered framed box headed 'QUESTION ANSWERED.' with a quoted line below: "Is there anything lazier than a graph joke?" — a self-deprecating jab implying this text-only comic counts as the answer.
