Transcript
Panel 1: A small girl in a red dress walks holding hands with a bearded man (her dad).
Girl: Dad, do you think the unpredictability of quantum mechanics means we have free will?
Panel 2: Close-up of the dad's face.
Dad: Yes.
Panel 3: Close-up of the dad's face again.
Dad: No.
Panel 4: The girl and dad walking together again.

Votey:
A cartoonish face with wide eyes is shown, looking unsettled.

A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a little girl in a red dress walks hand-in-hand with her bearded dad and asks, "Dad, do you think the unpredictability of quantum mechanics means we have free will?" Panel 2: a close-up of dad's face as he says "Yes." Panel 3: another close-up of dad's face as he says "No." Panel 4: back to the two of them walking; the girl says, "You're so wise, dad." The joke is that dad gives two contradictory answers and is praised for wisdom. Votey: a black-and-white cartoon face with wide, slightly creepy eyes, with text reading: "Just kidding. Free will is an incoherent idea. You can think about it tonight when you try to fall asleep."
