A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a woman sits at a desktop computer; the screen says "PROVE YOU ARE HUMAN! HOW MANY DOTS ARE ON THE BOARD?" Panel 2: a dense grid of dots arranged in an optical illusion (referencing Ninio's extinction illusion, where you can't perceive all the dots at once). Panel 3: the woman, face contorted, tries to count: "ONE... TWO... FOUR... AAAAAA! AAAAAAAAA!" as she breaks into screaming. Panel 4: the screen replies "WELCOME! THANK YOU FOR SCREAMING," with a caption noting the puzzle is based on an illusion discovered by Jacques Ninio. The joke: a CAPTCHA verifies humanity by inducing the frustrated screaming only a human would produce. Votey: a close-up of a smug man's face saying, "IT'S FACEBOOK! I WAS GOING TO BE SCREAMING ANYWAY!"
