A three-panel comic in which two women discuss a movie or story. In the first panel, a dark-haired woman tells a pale-haired woman that at the end it turns out all the characters' food is people; the pale-haired woman exclaims "What? Horrible!" but the dark-haired woman instead calls it "so inefficient." In the second panel she explains it takes at least 20 years to grow a food-grade human, and an adult would have to eat 13 medium-sized humans a year just to maintain body weight. In the third panel the pale-haired woman says she thinks the story was making a point about overusing resources, and the dark-haired woman deadpan asks, "Was it an ad for potatoes or something?" The joke is that she's missing the moral entirely and treating cannibalism as an efficiency problem. Votey (aftercomic): a yellow dictionary-style card titled "POTATO" reading "The round starchy thing that stands between you and cannibalism," with a drawing of a brown potato below.
