A two-panel comic. In the main panel, a man with dark blue hair looks annoyed and says "You're having three milkshakes for lunch?!" A second man with brown hair, eyes closed contentedly, sips a drink through a straw and replies, "Actually, the data says you should eat as much ice cream as you like." The caption below reads: "Naming my kid 'The Data' was the best decision of my life." The joke: he isn't citing scientific data, he's citing his child, whom he literally named "The Data," so "the data says" is just his kid talking. Votey (small follow-up panel): the annoyed dark-haired man shouts "Stop manipulating the data!" while the brown-haired man calmly keeps sipping his drink, ignoring him.
