Panel 1:
Narration (top, presumably one character explaining humanity's distinctions): "...or we were very different from other animals. We have poetry, art, mathematics, complex engineering, knowledge of our own history, intricate erotic rituals."
A man with reddish hair (listening, hand on chin, looking unsettled): "Oh god. Oh my god."
Caption (bottom): "Slowly, it began to dawn on me that I'm specifically bad at everything that makes humans special."
Votey:
The reddish-haired man (close-up of his face, looking hopeful): "Can they use sticks to catch and eat termites? I'm really good at that."

A single-panel comic. A dark-haired person enthusiastically lists the things that set humans apart from other animals: poetry, art, mathematics, complex engineering, knowledge of our own history, and intricate erotic rituals. Beside them, a man with reddish hair holds his chin and looks increasingly horrified, saying "Oh god. Oh my god." A caption beneath reads: "Slowly, it began to dawn on me that I'm specifically bad at everything that makes humans special." In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of the reddish-haired man's worried face shows him grasping for any human skill he might have, asking hopefully, "Can they use sticks to catch and eat termites? I'm really good at that."
