Panel 1:
A bald man in a green collared shirt sits at a computer monitor, frowning, with an annoyed expression.
Man (thought bubble): HOW ARE POLITICIANS STILL USING THAT ARGUMENT?! DON'T THEY KNOW IT WAS SATIRIZED ON A BLOG I READ!?
Caption (below panel): Sometimes I think things, and then I feel dumb.
Votey:
A simple sketch of the same bald man, looking pensive.
Man (thought bubble): DIDN'T THEY SEE MY FACEBOOK POST?

A bald man in a green shirt sits at a computer monitor, scowling. His thought bubble reads: "HOW ARE POLITICIANS STILL USING THAT ARGUMENT?! DON'T THEY KNOW IT WAS SATIRIZED ON A BLOG I READ!?" A caption below reads: "Sometimes I think things, and then I feel dumb." The joke mocks the self-importance of believing that a blog one reads has real political influence. Votey: a rough sketch of the same man looking thoughtful, thinking, "DIDN'T THEY SEE MY FACEBOOK POST?" — escalating the same delusion of personal influence.
