A six-panel SMBC comic. An enthusiastic inventor (woman with curly orange hair and glasses) interrupts a blonde celebrity in sunglasses eating dinner at a restaurant. The celebrity assumes she wants an autograph, but the inventor says she's 'concerned about your privacy.' She asks if the celebrity knows how people always try to peek at celebrity nipples, then proudly presents a bulky augmented-reality headset that uses LIDAR, skin tone, age, and a 'celebrity gene database' to generate a simulated real-time projection of the celebrity's breasts. Wearing the goggles, she boasts she can see 'everything, right down to the sweat glands' while the celebrity supposedly gets '100% complete privacy' — 'BAM! Technology saves the day again!' The celebrity, furious, shouts 'Take those off now! You have no right to my body!' The joke: a creepy invasion of privacy framed as a privacy-protecting tech solution. Votey aftercomic: hand-lettered word 'Luddite!' above a drawing of a distressed, worried face — the inventor dismissively branding the objecting woman as anti-technology.
