A red title banner reads: "Engineering tips: Since project delivery times are always underestimated, you might as well lie from the beginning." In the single panel, a red-haired man (seen from behind) tells a seated older man with glasses, "Hey, marketing wants to know when the interface will be finished." The older man flatly answers, "30 seconds." The first man starts to protest, "What? But-" and the older man cuts him off, "25 now! Quick! Tell everyone!" Votey (black-and-white aftercomic): A close-up of the same glasses-wearing man deadpans, "Plus or minus six weeks."
