Comic Description:

• Panel Content: A man, presumably Dr. Stern, stands at a podium speaking. He has short, dark hair and glasses, wearing a suit and tie. Behind him is a presentation with a drawing of Earth.

• Text Bubble (from Dr. Stern): "SCIENTISTS HAVE QUESTIONED WHY, IF THERE IS EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED COMMUNICATION FROM THEM. BASED ON AN EXPERIENCE MANY OF WE ENGINEERS HAD IN HIGH SCHOOL, WE PROPOSE THE EARTH HAS SOME AS-YET-UNIDENTIFIED PROBLEM THAT MUST BE REMOVED."

• Caption (below Dr. Stern): "Dr. Stern proposes the Oblivious Smelly Kid Hypothesis."
