“Smurfologists” unveil the landmark report

Editorial photo/illustration of a mock press conference: a long table with microphones and stacks of a thick report titled “FIELD STUDY: BLUE FOREST-DWELLERS & CULTURAL DOMINANCE.” Several deadpan researchers in tweed jackets hold clipboards; behind them a projection screen shows a blurred cartoon frame of tiny blue humanoids in a forest. Tone: serious academia colliding with absurd subject matter; neutral background, newsroom lighting.
