Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic's text presented in each panel:

1. Panel 1:
   • Character 1 (with shaggy hair and a brown beard, wearing a green shirt) says: "You’re doing the 'Nigerian Prince' scam. That’s the oldest con on the internet! You’d have to be an idiot to fall for it."
   • Character 2 (with short hair, wearing a blue shirt) responds: "Precisely."
2. Panel 2:
   • Character 1 continues: "Why do you think all e-mail scams are stupid? Why do they feature implausible stories and badly written English? It’s a low-pass filter for morons!"
3. Panel 3:
   • Character 2 (crossover in dialogue) says: "I am selectively locating the most catastrophic bumblefucks on the planet and extracting their wealth."
4. Panel 4:
   • Character 3 (woman with short hair and glasses, wearing a red shirt) appears and asks: "But is that okay? Aren’t those people the least likely to have wealth and power?"
5. Panel 5:
   • Character 1 responds: "Hoo boy. We need to have a talk."
6. Caption at the Bottom:
   • Citation: "Why do Nigerian scammers say they are from Nigeria," Cormac Herley 2019, sent to me by Dave Luebke
