Comic #5009: secrets

Description

The comic features an illustration of a character, Professor Ericson, who is depicted as an older man with glasses, a bald head, and a beard. He is wearing a suit with a tie and holding a whiteboard marker. The background is a green chalkboard where textual elements are prominently displayed.

The text consists of two lines:

1. (NUMBER OF PEOPLE REQUIRED TO HAVE A CONSPIRACY) = 2
2. (NUMBER OF PEOPLE ON PLANET WHO CAN KEEP A SECRET) < 2

At the bottom of the comic, there is a caption that reads:

Professor Ericson disproves all conspiracy theories.

This comic humorously suggests that having a conspiracy requires at least two people, but implies that there are fewer than two people on Earth capable of keeping a secret, thus making conspiracy theories unlikely.
