Just a caption
Caption: Whenever I learn a new fact I concoct elaborate fantasy scenarios where it lets me save the day.
Two people, male and female
Female: Oh no! The killer must have followed her on vacation!
The female points at the computer.
Female: But to find them we'd have to figure out what that song is and who sings it.
Male: It's hopeless!
Someone off the top of the panel is talking.
Off-panel: Everybody stand back.
Off-panel: I know that song!
The person of panel is revealed to be swinging on a rope towards the computer.
The person on the rope types something on the computer, and the word "iTunes" is shown in an explosion shape, as if it were a sound effect. The female is covering her mouth.
The person on the rope swings away. The female raises both her hands in the air, and the male waves at the person on the rope.
Title text: I have felt this way at some point.
