An extra comic drawn by [[Randall]] for Bill Gates' blog to celebrate World Polio Day. As noted, the disease {{w|polio}} has nearly been eradicated, with only a few isolated pockets remaining. Current methods of eradicating it are working will. As [[Ponytail]] is explaining this, [[Hairy]] for some reason claims that they need different methods. He then makes a series of increasingly ridiculous suggestions on different ways to eradicate polio, using overly advanced and complicated (and in some cases, nonexistent) technology, apparently oblivious to the fact that the current methods are working just fine. May be mocking those who think that high technology solves everything.
