Main comic: A man with reddish hair kneels beside a leafy plant in the woods and asks a scout-like figure wearing a wide-brimmed hat, "If I eat this leaf, will I die?" The hatted figure, with other scouts standing behind, deadpans, "Eventually, yeah. And pointlessly." A caption beneath reads: "One thing that really increased the accuracy of my foraging advice was despair." The joke: technically-true but nihilistic foraging advice. Votey: A close-up of the hatted figure's smiling face adding, "Oh, possibly with humiliation and/or suffering."
