Panel 1: An older gray-haired man stands at a lectern, addressing an audience.
Lecturer: "The important thing in computer science is being good with DETAILS. DETAILS separate the Donald Knuths from the nobodies."
Panel 2: Three audience members. A woman with reddish-brown hair and glasses raises her hand.
Woman (raising hand): "You're not wearing pants."
Panel 3: The lecturer at the lectern again, looking annoyed. His lower body behind the lectern is pixelated/blurred (censored).
Lecturer: "I said DETAILS! Not big picture stuff!"
Votey: A handwritten caption.
Text: "Why you should buy the book: If I didn't need ad providers, I wouldn't have to blur the wiener."

A three-panel comic. Panel 1: a gray-haired man in a suit stands at a lectern lecturing, saying that the important thing in computer science is being good with DETAILS, and that details separate the Donald Knuths from the nobodies. Panel 2: a woman in the audience raises her hand and says, "You're not wearing pants." Panel 3: the lecturer, now visibly annoyed, his lower body behind the lectern pixelated and censored, snaps, "I said DETAILS! Not big picture stuff!" The joke: he obsessed over details while missing the glaring big-picture fact that he forgot his pants. Votey aftercomic: a handwritten caption reads, "Why you should buy the book: If I didn't need ad providers, I wouldn't have to blur the wiener."
