Main comic: A caption across the top reads, "Turing proved it! If you can have a line along which you can write symbols, erase symbols, look at symbols, you have a computer that can run any program!" Below, a dark-haired woman in glasses and a wild-eyed bearded man sit at a computer monitor. The woman gasps, "My God. But... but that means..." The man, staring intensely, replies, "Yes." A caption beneath the panel delivers the punchline: "You can run Doom on Doom." Votey: A square panel densely packed with the phrase "You can run Doom on Doom on Doom on Doom on..." repeated over and over to fill the whole space, visually conveying the infinite recursion of running the game Doom inside itself. A tiny wide-eyed figure huddles in the bottom-right corner, overwhelmed.
