A bearded man with long reddish-brown hair smiles as he pokes his head up from the bottom of a green panel; beside him is the dark silhouette of another person. He says in a speech bubble, "Did you know that more people are alive today than have ever died?" The caption below reads: "The Garden of Eden was a great place for demographic fun facts" - the joke being that with only two humans alive, the statement was technically true. Votey: a black-and-white sketch of the same man saying, "Did you know that 50% of humans are really clever?" - again technically true when only two people exist.
