A comic panel shows the cover of a self-help book. The cover features a smiling blonde woman in an orange tank top. The huge title reads "YOU" followed by smaller text: "ARE SEXUALLY ATTRACTIVE AND VERY SMART, EVEN THOUGH THOSE ARE RELATIVE MEASURES AND THIS BOOK ISN'T WRITTEN TO ANY PARTICULAR HUMAN." The author credit reads "By: Zorkan Zorflex, PhD" — a comically alien name. The caption below reads: "The self-help books written by aliens were surprisingly popular." The joke is that the flattering, hedged, impersonal cover copy betrays a non-human author. Votey (aftercomic): a narrow-headed alien with large dark eyes glances to the side and says, "It started as a joke but nobody realized."
