A single-panel comic shows two cavemen standing outside a cave at dusk. The one on the left has a bushy red beard and a yellow spotted animal-skin tunic, and holds up a crooked stick, saying "THIS BAD STICK." The one on the right, with brown hair and a brown animal-skin tunic, replies, "WHAT IF WE SAY IT GOOD STICK?" A caption below reads: "Historical fun fact: Marketing is just over 140,000 years old." Votey: the same crooked stick is displayed like a product above a small placard reading "iStick" and, in quotes, "IS GOOD STICK" — the bad stick rebranded as a sleek Apple-style product.
