A bald businessman in a suit stands beside a presentation board, gesturing at a line chart whose green line trends upward, labeled "10%." Two people watch from the foreground. He says, "And as you can see, thanks to my computer science driven methods, double digit growth has been achieved once again." A caption below reads: "Switching all our stats to binary was a stroke of genius" — the joke being that in binary, the number 10 equals two, so his "double digit growth" is trivially small. In the votey aftercomic, a rough sketch shows the businessman's face raising his middle finger as he declares, "I'm pushing for 100% growth" — 100 in binary equals four.
