Panel 1 (main comic):
A large, shaggy yellow creature with pointy ears (resembling a sun-colored llama/yeti) speaks to a girl with red hair in a ponytail standing in a grassy field under a smiling sun:
Creature: "It turned out my hypothesis was not exactly right and not exactly wrong but... there's a combination of issues, many of which stem from incomplete data."
Creature (continuing, in a separate excited speech bubble): "Sounds like it's time for lit search number seven!"
The girl stands with her hands raised to her face, looking dismayed.
Caption below the panel: "So far, no buyers for my realistic science show for kids."
Votey:
The same shaggy creature, drawn from the front with wild fur and a slightly manic expression, declares:
Creature: "Remember kids, a hypothesis without a lit search is just a fucking guess!"

A children's-science-show parody. In the main panel, a girl with red hair in a ponytail stands dismayed in a sunny grassy field beside a huge shaggy yellow creature (like a fuzzy sun-colored llama). The creature cheerfully explains in formal research jargon: "It turned out my hypothesis was not exactly right and not exactly wrong but... there's a combination of issues, many of which stem from incomplete data." Then, in an excited follow-up bubble: "Sounds like it's time for lit search number seven!" A caption underneath reads: "So far, no buyers for my realistic science show for kids." The joke is that real science is tedious literature reviews, not exciting for children. In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of the same wild-furred creature grins and proclaims: "Remember kids, a hypothesis without a lit search is just a fucking guess!"
