A single-panel comic. A woman with brown hair and round glasses stands behind a seated bald man with a tear running down his cheek; he wears a faint, melancholy smile. The woman asks, "Why are you smiling with such sad eyes?" The man replies, "I made a typo in Google Scholar... and had a glimpse of a kinder, more beautiful world." A caption beneath reads: "As of June 1, 2025 9:23 there were 39 scholarly search results for 'The Dairy of Anne Frank.'" The joke is that mistyping "Diary" as "Dairy" conjures an absurd, gentler alternate reality. The votey (bonus panel) is handwritten text inside a wobbly square that reads: "(I can't think of a non-offensive bonus panel. Have a good week!)"
