A two-panel comic. The first panel has a green background labeled "WEIRDLY ACCEPTABLE:" — a smiling person says to someone at the edge of the frame, "Hey, try this puzzle game! It's suuuper addictive!" The second panel has a pink background labeled "WEIRDLY UNACCEPTABLE:" — the same person says, "Hey, try this puzzle game! You'll stop brushing your teeth and maintaining friendships!" The joke: "addictive" is treated as a fun selling point, but describing the actual consequences of addiction is unsettling. The votey (bonus panel) shows a content-looking person declaring, "Being not-unhappy is the same as happy!"
