A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A man with round glasses asks, "Do you believe in free will?" Panel 2: A woman in a yellow shirt answers, "No! Will is my servant and he will never be granted freedom!" Beside her stands a man bound and gagged in leather bondage restraints - the pun being that "Will" is literally an enslaved person, not the philosophical concept. Panel 3: The glasses man says, "That seems immoral." Panel 4: The woman replies, "Nothing is immoral - all is predetermined," using determinism to wave away the ethics of holding her captive. Votey (aftercomic): The bound, gagged man (Will) has a thought bubble reading, "I wonder why all the philosophy majors become sadists."
