A five-panel comic. Panel 1: A man in a red shirt monologues, "And THAT'S why I'm pretty sure string theory is wrong. Now, let me tell you how the economy should be run." A woman with blue hair in a purple shirt points at him laughing, "HA! GOT YOU!" Panel 2: The man looks confused: "What?" Panel 3: The woman explains, "You weren't actually talking to me! It was a DECOY date! You got to express all your facile opinions while I went to watch a movie!" Panel 4: The man asks "But how?!" and the woman says "Behold!" Panel 5: The man recoils in alarm, shouting "Doppelganger!" as the woman reveals a small smiling puppet figure sitting beside him, holding a sign that reads "you are very interesting" — the decoy listener that absorbed his lecture. Votey (aftercomic): Handwritten text reads, "From the German, meaning 'Double ganger,'" above a rough sketch of a standing person.
