A four-panel comic. A woman proudly shows a man into a room, announcing it's a demo of something and asking if it looks nice and notably flat. The man looks around and realizes everything seems flat because the whole 'clean room' is made of cardboard cutouts. In the third panel he pulls back one of the flat cardboard panels, exposing that the fake clean scene is propped up from behind with piles of laundry and empty Hot Pocket sleeves. In the last panel the woman admits this elaborate fakery actually took longer than just cleaning the place would have, then defensively says hindsight is 20/20. Votey: a big grinning face says, 'Some of those Hot Pockets are still good.'
