A four-panel comic plus a caption. A woman holds a tablet up to an older man seated in a chair. Panel 1, she says, 'This is a video of a naked woman dancing.' Panel 2, the tablet now shows an old man's face and she says, 'This is a video of your grandfather masticating a piece of chewing tobacco.' Panel 3: 'And here's the naked lady again..' Panel 4, the man stammers, 'I.... Wow...' A caption follows where the man says he doesn't know why it worked but suddenly he isn't thinking of his normal anxieties, and the woman replies, 'People are simpler machines than we realize.' A black 'EARLIER...' flashback shows the two as silhouettes; the woman tells the man, 'I'm going to try turning you off, then turning you on'—a literal reboot pun, alternating arousing and disgusting images like power-cycling a machine. Votey: an extreme close-up of a man's tense, scrunched-up face, captioned 'Sexy as hell.'
