Panel 1 (single panel)
A woman with dark wavy hair and large round glasses stands and gestures, holding her palm out, addressing a seated audience whose backs are toward the viewer.
Woman: "AND THEN, IF YOU SUM THE VALUE OF EACH REMAINING LETTER, BREAK THAT SUM INTO ITS DIGITS, ADD 6, THEN CONVERT BACK INTO LETTERS, YOU GET THE WORD “BULLSHIT.”"
A burst/starburst to the right reads: "GASP!"
Caption (below the panel): I managed to convince everyone that numerology doesn’t work.
Votey:
Close-up of the woman's face, looking dismayed.
Text (thought/speech above her): "MY HOROSCOPE SAID NUMEROLOGY IS DUMB"

A woman with dark wavy hair and large round glasses stands lecturing a seated audience (seen from behind). Her speech bubble reads: “And then, if you sum the value of each remaining letter, break that sum into its digits, add 6, then convert back into letters, you get the word ‘bullshit.’” A yellow starburst beside the crowd reads “Gasp!” The caption below states: “I managed to convince everyone that numerology doesn’t work.” The joke: she debunked numerology using an absurd numerological-style calculation. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the same woman looking dismayed, with text reading “My horoscope said numerology is dumb” — implying the audience was only convinced because their horoscopes told them so, not by her reasoning.
