Panel 1 (single panel):
A woman standing in a doorway: "What are you doing?"
A man lying in bed, staring intently at his phone, sweating and disheveled: "Scrolling to find the food. The... make the muffin."
The woman: "But it's been three days!"
Caption (below the panel): Large language models finally made it possible for personal anecdotes on recipe websites to occupy infinite space.
Votey:
No dialogue or text. The man is now collapsed at the bottom of the panel, lying down with one eye open, still clutching/staring, having sunk fully into his obsessive scrolling.

A single-panel comic. A woman stands in a doorway and asks, "What are you doing?" In the foreground, a wild-eyed, sweaty, unshaven man lies in bed staring at his phone and mutters, "Scrolling to find the food. The... make the muffin." The woman replies, "But it's been three days!" A caption below reads: "Large language models finally made it possible for personal anecdotes on recipe websites to occupy infinite space." The joke: AI-generated filler text on recipe sites has become endless, so the man scrolls forever and never reaches the actual recipe. Votey (aftercomic): a wordless black-and-white panel showing the man now collapsed at the bottom of the frame, one eye still open, having completely succumbed to the infinite scroll.
