A cartoon duck mascot stands on a sports field with its arms raised triumphantly, cheering toward a player in the background. It shouts, "GO! GO, BLIND IMPERSONAL FORCES THAT CULMINATED IN THIS OUTCOME!" The caption reads: "The best thing about Determinism Duck is that he can be the mascot for any team." The joke is that the mascot frames a sports victory in the language of philosophical determinism rather than team loyalty. In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of the duck's head shows it cheering again with its beak wide open, shouting, "GO INITIAL PARAMETERS OF REALITY!"
