A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a red-haired man stands by a box labeled "Decaf!" and asks, "Decaf coffee?" Panel 2: he sneers and gestures, saying "That's pointless." Panel 3: the decaf box sits alone and retorts, "Imagine being a human and calling something else pointless." Panel 4: the man stands silently beside the box, crying with tears running down his face, gut-punched by the existential burn. Votey: a simple doodled face with a speech bubble saying, "I need a coffee."
