In the cardiologist's office It's close in there No avoiding others And the wait is long Anxiety and boredom Make us reveal what's on our hearts We console a man Still upset about a mean boss Nod in recognition Of others We talk ourselves into silence Our hearts open When the doctor calls us in

    Panel 3: A close-up of the sleeper showing one wide-open eye staring straight ahead while snoring ("ZZZZZ").

    Panel 4: The intruder turns around and retreats down the stairs in fear.

Three-panel comic by Tom Gault. A man (in outline) is working on a large computer. A female (in outline) is standing behind him.

Panel 1:
The man says, "I'm trying to create an AI that can understand and use sarcasm."

The woman asks, "How's it going?"

Middle panel: 
The computer answers, "It's going great. This guy's a real genius."

Panel 3:
The woman asks the man if that was sarcasm. He sits down and replies, "I don't know."
