A close-up profile of a bald, smiling person leaning over an open book. Handwritten text on the page reads, 'ALL OF YOUR BIASES HAVE AT SOME POINT BEEN CONFIRMED BY ANECDOTE.' A caption beneath reads, 'There. Now you never have to read anything written by a pundit.' The joke mocks how anecdotal evidence can be used to validate any preexisting bias. The votey (aftercomic) shows another handwritten note continuing the gag: 'MORE GOOD NEWS! YOUR PET THEORIES ABOUT SOCIETY CAN BE CONFIRMED BY A INFO FROM A SURVEY COURSE IN PSYCHOLOGY,' poking fun at people who confirm sweeping social theories with shallow intro-psych knowledge.
