A cartoon mad-scientist villain — a bald man in a green sweater wearing one large white monocle-like lens — laughs maniacally while gripping a purple lever. His speech bubble reads: "I have captured every single affluent white college student! With every passing second, I conduct more opinion surveys. When I have conducted enough, I will speculate about how to destroy the world! Ahahahahahaha!" Behind him, a man in a red-and-yellow superhero costume with a lightning-bolt chest emblem is strapped to an upright chair, looking distressed. A caption below reads: "I'm sorry, but mad sociology is not a real mad science." Votey (aftercomic): handwritten text reading "I would respect postmodernism if it called itself Mad Humanities."
