A four-panel comic in a Batman cartoon style. Panel 1: A Batman-like hero in a blue cowl shouts, "BLAST! THE JOKER HAS TAKEN OVER THE MOON!" Panel 2: A bald older man wearing a small eye mask declares, "THIS IS A JOB FOR PATIENT-MAN!" Panel 3: The two stand side by side in silence. Panel 4: Patient-Man calmly says, "SO... WHEN THE SUN BECOMES A RED GIANT, NONE OF THIS WILL MATTER," while the Batman-like hero turns to stare back with a deadpan, unimpressed look. The joke: Patient-Man's superpower is defusing urgency by pointing out the cosmic-scale futility of everything. Votey: A sketchy black-and-white close-up of the Batman-like hero's face, staring blankly with a flat, fed-up expression.
