A two-man conversation in a single comic panel. A man with reddish-brown hair, seen from behind, talks with a man who has dark hair, round glasses, and a maroon shirt. The hair man says, "Well, the original Sherlock Holmes character knew nothing of philosophy or astronomy." The glasses man replies, "That's true. And he also knew very little about, for example, geology." The hair man continues, "Very true. In fact, he... oh god. Oh god. Wait," dawning realization in his words. A caption beneath defines the joke: "Wikipiphany: The realization that the 'intellectual' conversation you're having is based entirely on each of you having read the same wikipedia article." Votey (black-and-white aftercomic): a close-up of the glasses man smiling awkwardly while thinking, "Oh god, he's still talking."
