XKCD Web Comic #960: Subliminal (described)

A web comic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language.

Panel One: Drawing of a stick figure seated before a desk with a computer monitor. A stick figure with dark hair is standing behind the seated figure, resting a hand on the chair back.

Person One: “What hidden arrow?”

Person Two: “I thought everyone knew about it. Pull up the FedEx logo.”

Second Panel: A closer view of the same scene.

Person One: “Where is it?”

Person Two: “Right there. Look at the white space.”

Person One: “I don’t see it.”

Third Panel: A distorted view of the purple and orange FedEx logo. The white space between the capital F and the lower case d and above the e forms a tank, the white space from the interiors of the e and d form a ball player with a 24 on the back of his uniform reaching out to catch a ball. A smiling, mustached man’s face wearing a brimmed hat and facing left is formed by the white space between the capital E and the lower case X.

Person One: “All I see is Guy Fawkes watching Willie Mays catch a fly ball while an armored assault vehicle rolls by.”

Person Two: “…You either need more medication or less. Not sure which.”

Hover text: Once you see it, you can’t help seeing it every time. Until your body finishes metabolizing the mushrooms.

 

Warning: this comic occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors).
