A doctor in a white coat holds a clipboard with a chart and cheerfully tells a worried-looking woman patient seated in a green gown: "Good news! Your body is over 90% metal!" A caption beneath reads: "It was a mistake to allow astronomers into medicine" — the joke being that astronomers call any element heavier than hydrogen and helium a "metal," so by that definition a human body counts as mostly metal. Votey (aftercomic): a crudely drawn, anxious-looking face, with an off-panel voice adding, "Unfortunately, so are your butt-worms."
