An eight-panel comic. A blonde woman in round glasses and an orange shirt gives a presentation at a podium to an audience. She states a series of formal-sounding points: AXIOM, every person accumulates embarrassing teenage memories; AXIOM, anyone would take any risk to eliminate those memories; CONCLUSION, to find the people who will eventually invent a time machine, we must locate people who had a great time in high school; PROPOSAL, capture these rare happy-childhood specimens in secure cells, seize their future technology the moment they create it, and use it to alter history to our advantage. An audience listens; an older bearded man asks, 'What about all the people who just happened to have enjoyable, carefree childhoods?' In a deadpan close-up the woman replies, 'Fuck those people.' Votey aftercomic: a crudely sketched face says in a speech bubble, 'We will disappear them.'
