A three-panel comic. Panel 1: a large gray elephant against a purple background, captioned "AN ELEPHANT NEVER FORGETS." Panel 2: a man and a woman standing together; caption reads "THIS MAKES THEM GREAT FOR FILE STORAGE" and the man says, "Have no fear. Your emails, documents, and personal photos are securely stored in the 'phant." Panel 3, captioned "FILE RETRIEVAL, ON THE OTHER HAND, IS STILL BUGGY": two people look on as the elephant loudly trumpets "BWOOOO! BWWW! BWOOOOOO!!" instead of returning the files. The joke treats an elephant as a glitchy cloud storage service that stores data perfectly but cannot retrieve it. Votey: a hand-drawn sheet of paper headed "Things I can't draw:" with a list reading cars, cats, building, things, and ELEPHANTS (the last in emphatic capitals), the artist admitting the elephant in the comic was hard to draw.
