A three-panel comic with header banners, all showing the same bald man with round glasses. Panel 1, labeled "WHAT SCIENTISTS SAY," against a blue background: the man calmly says, "Nobody is quite sure why this happens." Panel 2, labeled "WHAT THEY MEAN," against a pink background: the man holds up two fingers and says, "There are at least two non-overlapping theories that both work pretty well." Panel 3, labeled "WHAT PEOPLE HEAR," against a yellow background: the man, now wide-mouthed and alarmed, says, "It's aliens, ghosts, or Jesus." The joke is that a scientist's cautious uncertainty gets wildly misheard as endorsement of supernatural explanations. Votey: a close-up of a face with huge anxious eyes and a nervous grimace, saying, "We cannot rule out alien-ghost-Jesuses."
