Transcript

The comic panel is entirely black, with only two speech bubbles visible against the darkness; the speakers are not shown.

Speaker 1 (upper-left bubble): "AAAH! WHY ARE YOU PUTTING A SPOON IN MY EAR?!"

Speaker 2 (lower-right bubble): "I WILL BE THE FIRST TO ADMIT, IT APPEARS TO BE A LOW-FITNESS MUTATION."

Caption (below the panel, in plain text): "Funtime activity:
Using evolutionary algorithms to generate sex moves."

Votey:
A single speech bubble against a black panel.
Speaker: "I'D BETTER TRY A SPORK."

An all-black comic panel with no visible characters, just two speech bubbles. The first bubble reads, "AAAH! Why are you putting a spoon in my ear?!" The second replies, "I will be the first to admit, it appears to be a low-fitness mutation." A caption below reads: "Funtime activity: Using evolutionary algorithms to generate sex moves." The joke is that an evolutionary algorithm is producing random, terrible bedroom moves and treating a spoon-in-the-ear as a failed mutation. The votey shows another black panel with one speech bubble: "I'd better try a spork." — the algorithm gamely iterating to an equally absurd next attempt.
