A single-panel comic. A woman with dark hair leans in eagerly toward a man with glasses and reddish hair, excitedly explaining: "Think about it! They're arguments that arise from different meanings of the same word." The man recoils, shouting "No!" and "No! Stop it!" The caption beneath reads: "Why are they called 'semantic arguments' and not 'ad homonyms'?" — a pun on 'ad hominem' and 'homonym.' Votey (aftercomic): plain hand-lettered text in a black-bordered box reading "This is the best possible joke. No more jokes. This is the last one."
