A two-panel comic. Main panel: a woman with glasses stands behind a couch where a man lounges watching TV. The TV blares in a jagged shout balloon, "OH! TOOK HIM DOWN HARD! THAT'S GOTTA HURT!" The woman says, "I don't see how you enjoy this stuff. It's all scripted in advance." A caption beneath reads: "Determinists hate sports." The joke: a determinist believes outcomes are predetermined, so sports feel as fixed as a scripted show. Votey (black-and-white aftercomic): a man with spiky, flame-like hair declares, "I believe everything is random, so nothing is predictable except maybe the plot of a Law & Order episde [sic]."
