Panel 1:
A man with long reddish hair and a full beard, eyes downcast, speaks in a large speech bubble.
Man: "All I want is a social network smart enough to put a food item into my mouth just as I realize that I want it, but which also doesn't collect any personal data! Is that too much to ask?"
Caption (below panel): Just because they're the problem, doesn't mean we aren't.
Votey:
The same bearded man, head bowed, continues speaking in a curving speech bubble.
Man: "Also could it keep my medical records, store my nude photos, know my friends, and run targeted ads?"

A man with long reddish hair and a full beard looks down with a pained, wistful expression. In a large speech bubble he says: "All I want is a social network smart enough to put a food item into my mouth just as I realize that I want it, but which also doesn't collect any personal data! Is that too much to ask?" A caption beneath reads: "Just because they're the problem, doesn't mean we aren't." In the votey aftercomic, the same man bows his head and adds: "Also could it keep my medical records, store my nude photos, know my friends, and run targeted ads?" The joke is that his demand for privacy is contradicted by everything else he wants the network to do with his data.
