A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A man in glasses tells a bald man, "So. I hear you have a cat." The bald man replies, "Correct." Panel 2: The glasses man rapidly fires off contradictory questions — "Anything special or unique about it? Anything that makes it just like everyone else's cat? Anything that makes it different from every other domestic cat?" The bald man answers, "No," and the glasses man triumphantly shouts, "AHA!" Panel 3: A robot now stands between them; the bald man asks the robot, "HOW DID YOU KNOW?" and the robot deadpans, "Robots will never understand humans" — implying the nonsensical interrogation was actually a robot's failed attempt to relate to a person. Votey (aftercomic): Captioned "YOU RIGHT NOW," a grinning reader with a tiny cat says, "HA! HE'S MAKING FUN OF EVERYONE ELSE'S CAT!" — a jab that the reader has badly misread the joke.
