Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Panel 1:

• Title: "In the future, neuroscience grows so mathematically predictive, researchers set up mind-reading shops."
• There are two shops depicted:
  • The first sign reads "PSYCHIC" with a smaller sign saying "Out of Business."
  • The second sign reads "SCIENTIFIC MIND READ," with a number indicating "NOW SERVING 64."

Panel 2:

• Characters: Two women and an older man (a psychic).
• The older man is pointing towards a crystal ball while saying: “I see many hazy qualities in you, all of which are positive and interesting!”

Panel 3:

• The scene shifts to another perspective, showing the same two women and another character who is smiling.
• The smiling character says: “Oh, neat! Here’s where you fantasize about your ex-girlfriend!”

Each panel conveys both a humorous and critical take on the evolution of psychic readings in a future where mind-reading is commonplace.
