A four-panel comic. A man at a computer tells a blonde woman standing behind him that social media stresses him out. In close-ups he frets that he honestly thought he was an average normal person, but it turns out he is surrounded by experts in law, world history, political theory, economics, epidemiology, philosophy - everything - who must spend all their time in research. The woman replies that she honestly can't tell if he's serious, then adds: weirdly bad spelling, though - the joke being that these online 'experts' can't spell. Votey: the same woman says in a speech bubble, 'You should get more of your information from comic strips.'
