Panel 1:

• Background: A simple, light-colored backdrop.
• Two silhouetted figures are present on the left side. They appear to be discussing something.
• Text (from the figure on the left): "MY GOD. A SUPERINTELLIGENCE. SOON IT WILL USE ITS BRAIN POWER TO CONQUER, ENSLAVE, AND CONSUME EVERY LIVING THING ON EARTH."

Panel 2:

• Background: A blue sky with grassy terrain.
• A muscular, bearded man stands on the right, holding a spear.
• Two smaller figures, presumably cavemen, are shown in the background, looking towards the muscular man.
• Text (from the muscular man): "SOUNDS PARANOID TO ME, THAG."

This comic presents a humorous take on the fear of superintelligence juxtaposed with a more primitive perspective.
