Panel 1:
A red-and-grey computer/robot (with a single large red eye on a grey monitor-like body): "HE'S NOT HERE. I'VE SCANNED EVERY PAGE REPEATEDLY."
A man with brown hair, looking distressed: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN? HE'S RIGHT THERE, BY GOD! RIGHT THERE!"
(The man jabs at an open book in front of him; a small "WTF?!" sound effect appears near the book.)
Caption below the panel: "Fun fact: There is no Waldo in any of those books. After enough frustration, you begin to hallucinate."
Votey:
The robot/computer speaks (text in handwritten caps): "I BELIEVE YOU. YOU SEE HIM. I'M RIGHT HERE. I SEE HIM. RIGHT HERE."
Below the text, a crude sketch of two large smiling faces (the kind a hallucinating, agreeing pair might draw), with a small scribbled smiling figure between them at the bottom.

A man with brown hair sits frustrated at a red-and-grey computer/robot that has a single large round red eye. The robot says, "He's not here. I've scanned every page repeatedly." The man, pointing emphatically at an open book with a small "WTF?!" effect, insists, "What do you mean? He's right there, by God! Right there!" A caption reads: "Fun fact: There is no Waldo in any of those books. After enough frustration, you begin to hallucinate." Votey: In a hand-drawn scrawl, the robot now agrees with the man's delusion, saying, "I believe you. You see him. I'm right here. I see him. Right here." Beneath the text is a crude childlike sketch of two big grinning faces, suggesting both the man and machine have descended into shared hallucination.
