Panel 3: The woman looks at him, frowning, irritated.

A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A woman with eyes closed says she sometimes feels like an imposter. Panel 2: A bearded man earnestly replies that he's studied and worked for decades and still feels he knows nothing and adds nothing to the conversation. Panel 3: The woman, now frowning and annoyed, tells him he's a conspiracy podcaster who thinks every election and mass migration are engineered and that Jewish lizardmen govern the solar system from New Zealand, and that the only correct assessment he's ever made is believing he contributes nothing. Panel 4: Close-up of the man looking aside, asking, "So how come I do feel one or two of them, eh?" The joke: a genuine crank's only accurate self-judgment is his own worthlessness. Votey (aftercomic): A slumped, head-bowed figure sits beneath the caption "Why do the actual impostors never have imposter or syndrome.?" punctuating that the people who really are frauds rarely doubt themselves.
