title text: Every weekend I take an ATV out into the desert and spend a day tracing a faint "(C) GOOGLE 2009" watermark across the landscape.

Single panel comic. No hair and pony tail are standing on either side of a presentation screen with a satellite image. There is a small square in the middle that is very pixelated but still follows the general outline of the terrain. No hair says "Wait, when was this imagery taken? Is this censorship the work of the contractor? One of our people? *Foreign Actors* !?" Pony tail responds "Do we know who's operating a facility at that location?" No hair answers "We can't find *anything*." Lower caption: My hobby: setting up big colored panels in the middle of nowhere as a prank on remote sensing people.
