Three-panel comic. Panel 1: A worried clean-shaven man tells a bald bearded man "...and that's why I'm worried," and the bearded man replies "So you just blindly trust experts?!" Panel 2: The bearded man, now angry and pointing, cuts off the other man ("I...") shouting "You gotta do your own research!" Panel 3: The punchline. The bearded man sits reading at a desk in front of a huge bookshelf, his "research" library. Every book spine is a junk source: "meme," "meme with talking dog," "5th Grade history," "Loud youtube man in car," "Soft-spoken conspiracy theorist with podcast," "reddit headline," "One-word Elon Musk tweets," "poorly sourced graph," "stupidest person on facebook who disagrees with me," "man selling supplements," "meme depicting opponents as sheep," "imagined argument won against TV host," "movie from childhood," "10-second tiktok rant," and many more labeled simply "meme." The open book in his hands is titled "Guy from work who watches History Channel a lot." Votey (aftercomic): the same bearded man, now slumped and looking sad, admits in a speech bubble: "You can't trust experts which is why I mostly follow morons."
