Main comic: A single wide panel showing a large luxury yacht at night, viewed from the dock. A speech bubble coming from the boat reads: "Welcome to the first meeting of the Tyrannical Hidden Elite Yacht-Club! Membership perks include: credit for the economy, the weather, epidemics, and in general, any system too large for an average person to fathom." A caption beneath the panel reads: "Now you know who's being referred to whenever someone mentions a non-specific 'THEY' in power." The joke: the shadowy, all-powerful 'they' people blame for everything is literally an elite yacht club. Votey: A hand-drawn close-up of an old, worn coin or medallion engraved with the single word "THEY," suggesting an official emblem of this secret elite group.
