FUN FACT: YOU CAN ALWAYS CREEP PEOPLE OUT BY INTRODUCING A SAFE WORD IN A NONSEXUAL CONTEXT
Panel 1:
A woman with brown hair and glasses stands at a lectern, adjusting her glasses with one hand and holding a sheaf of papers in the other. She addresses an audience.
Woman: "Welcome to this year's symposium on phenotypic integration. I'll be talking about recent experimentation on Fundulus parvipinnis. Please hold questions for the end. Oh, and the safe word is banana."

TEN POINTS TO ANYONE WHO ACTUALLY DOES THIS

A yellow caption banner reads: "FUN FACT: You can always creep people out by introducing a safe word in a nonsexual context." Below, a single panel shows a woman with brown hair and glasses standing at a lectern, adjusting her glasses and holding papers as she gives an academic talk. Her speech bubble reads: "Welcome to this year's symposium on phenotypic integration. I'll be talking about recent experimentation on Fundulus parvipinnis. Please hold questions for the end. Oh, and the safe word is banana." The joke is the absurd, unsettling intrusion of a sexual-style 'safe word' into a dry scientific presentation. Votey (aftercomic): handwritten text reading "TEN POINTS TO ANYONE WHO ACTUALLY DOES THIS."
