A Venn diagram shows overlapping circles labeled: "Your Paper", "The Part You're Excited About", "The Part People Actually Read", and "The Part One Reviewer Insisted Your Paper Must Have." The last circle is completely outside the two middle ones.

Description A four-panel cartoon comic. Panel 1: A large heading "QUOTES FROM OVERLY HONEST SCIENCE FUNDING APPLICATIONS" above the text. Beneath the heading are two quotes. The first quote says: "We heard you are giving money away and we want it. If you give it to us we promise to use some of it to actually do the things you want". A simple stick figure cartoon of someone with sunglasses is shown on the right side with a few bills of money flying near him. Panel 2: A smaller heading "QUOTES FROM OVERLY HONEST SCIENCE FUNDING APPLICATIONS". Beneath this heading, two quotes are shown. The first quote: "My boss has this idea that very obviously won't work. We need money to prove it won't work so we can maybe do something that will". Under the quote is a cartoon-style drawing of a person wearing a scientist's hat and holding some sort of object that appears to represent science. The second quote is beneath that. Panel 3: A part of the comic that's different; it has the same size as Panel 1 and contains a quote. The quote says: "We heard you are giving money away and we want it. If you give it to us we promise to use some of it to actually do the things you want". A simple stick figure cartoon of someone with sunglasses is shown on the right side with a few bills of money flying near him. Panel 4: Contains the same formatting as the other panels. The first quote reads: "I have a crippling addiction to housing and food. I'd quite like to continue my research to support those habits". Beneath this quote is a stick figure cartoon of a person who appears to be eating something. All panels are in a simple, cartoonish style, with black outlines and basic shading. The comic is on a white background. At the bottom right is a website address "ERRANTSCIENCE.COM".

A bar graph is presented, illustrating different aspects of a graph's potential misrepresentation. The x-axis shows different categories, while the y-axis represents a numerical scale. The leftmost bar, a light purple, signifies the total number of mistakes within the graph. The height of this bar signifies that there are approximately 6 mistakes in the graph. The middle bar, a pinkish-coral hue, displays the estimated number of mistakes that an average person is likely to catch, indicating around 4 mistakes might be detected. The rightmost bar, a light greenish-yellow, quantifies the probability that the initial bar representing the mistakes is inaccurate. The height of this bar signifies a probability of approximately 1. The graph's title/subtitle, "Mistakes in this graph," appears on the top of the chart. The different sections labelled "How many mistakes most people will spot" and "Probability that the first bar is lying" provide context to the data represented by the three different colored bars. The image's source, "ERRANTSCIENCE.COM," is visible at the bottom-right corner.
Painfully accurate. The complete lack of overlap between the green and the light blue circles is the cherry on the cake #AcademicChattter #ErrantScience
