A man has fallen to the bottom of a deep stone well and looks up in panic, shouting, "Help! I thought there was leprechauns in here so I leaned over and fell in!" Peering down over the rim of the well is a superhero in a red costume with a "D" emblem on his chest. Rather than rescuing the man, he declares, "Don't move! With my help, this fate will never befall anyone in the future!" — meaning he intends to let natural selection take its course. The caption reads: "The Darwinist was not a popular superhero." In the votey, a simple stick-style figure asks the Darwinist, "How come we never see you and Richard Dawkins at the same time?", implying the Darwinist superhero is secretly Richard Dawkins.
