Some years ago (obviously), the Funky Winkerbean comic strip depicted Carl Sagan giving a talk at the local high school. As I remember it . . .

When he takes questions, the first kid asks, "Dr. Sagan: On Cosmos, when you were zipping all around the Universe and back to the dawn of time . . . was that real, or was that special effects?"

Penultimate panel shows the kid waiting for the answer, paying careful attention.

Sagan looks our way and says "No doubt about it -- I'm going to have to start asking for higher lecture fees."
