    transcript:

    A comic strip in four panels:

    1. A bird's-eye view of a giant amphora the size of a building with closed eyes and a closed mouth engraved on it. Using scaffolding, a community of wizards climbed up and are throwing all their books into it, to fill its content.

      Wizards: All our grimoires for the Amphora of Great Intelligence!

    2. A ground level view at the bottom of the giant amphora. This time, the wizards bring tree trunks, cut down nearby trees, and throw them into a large fire to boil the giant amphora.

      Wizards: All our forests for the Amphora of Great Intelligence!

    3. A gathering of all the wizards below the imposing amphora which has now opened its glowing eyes and mouth slightly. The crowd of wizards at its feet applauds:

      Wizards: Amphora of Great Intelligence, our world is dying, share your knowledge with us!

    4. Same shot, as the amphora responds with joyful and amused eyes. The wizards are confused by the answer...

    1. An adventurer kneels on a path, facing a small cookie with tiny arms and legs. The creature looks miserable and is crying while looking at the ground. The adventurer is concerned for the little being.

      Adventurer: Oh... What’s wrong, my little fellow?

    A comic strip in four panels:

    Panel 1: A princess kneels, holding the body of her dying knight.

    Princess: Oh no, my knight! You can't die on me like this!
    Knight: It's... too late... I've lost too much blood...

    Panel 2: The princess is suddenly amused by an idea while the knight dies even more quickly.

    Princess: Wait a minute... Of course!
    Knight: gasps

    Panel 3. The princess pulls down a control panel like a store shade, and the user interface appears behind her. With a finger, she toggles a switch on the "Blood" line from ON to OFF, making a small 'click' sound. The panel is titled "Settings", and also has options for "Music", "Sound Effects", "Mini-Map", and "Language".

    Panel 4: The princess looks happy, and the knight sits up in disbelief — there is no more blood on his armour!

    Knight: Wow! What sorcery is this?!

    A comic in four panels.

    Panel 1. A sorcerer is standing in front of the closed main gate of a tall and dark castle. The guard, on the wall of the castle, shouts:

    Guard: Halt, stranger! Do you have the password?
    Sorcerer: Yes, it's DarkLord123!

    Panel 2. Zoom on the guard, shouting another test:

    Guard: What about the security code sent to your address?
    Sorcerer: Oh yes, I have that: 75482.

    Panel 3. The guard now hangs a big poster, absurd: there is on it a picture of a horse on a landscape, but it is split into many squares. The laser wand of the sorcerer selects all the squares with horses.

    Guard: Now, use your magic to show me all the squares with horses. Good.

    Panel 4. Shot of the sorcerer, visibly very bored by all these tests, opening his mouth.

    Guard (off-panel): Finally, prove that you're an adult by closing and opening your mouth.
    Sorcerer: Really?...

    This comic strip is a critique of the too many security steps in 2025: login/password, 2FA security code, captchas, and adult verification via webcam expression.
