A single-panel comic. A man holding a green book complains to a dark-haired woman (shown from behind), "I want my money back! This book is 99% blank pages!" She replies, "Well, maybe you should've paid more attention in math class." The joke: the book's title or content is encoded in binary, so blank pages represent zeros. A caption below reads: "If I ever write a book of 1001 jokes, I don't know what the first 8 will be, but the 9th will be 'the title of this book was in binary.'" The votey is a hand-drawn note listing binary-mangled famous titles: "ALSO... 9 Arabian Nights, 5 Dalmations, 4 Years of solitude, Ocean's 3, 2 commandments" (each number altered from its familiar version).
