# Security

A comic in four panels.

Panel 1. A sorcerer is standing in front of the closed main gate of a tall and dark castle. The guard, on the wall of the castle, shouts:
> Guard: Halt, stranger! Do you have the password?  
> Sorcerer: Yes, it's DarkLord123!

Panel 2. Zoom on the guard, shouting another test:
> Guard: What about the security code sent to your address?  
> Sorcerer: Oh yes, I have that: 75482.

Panel 3. The guard now hangs a big poster, absurd: there is on it a picture of a horse on a landscape, but it is split into many squares. The laser wand of the sorcerer selects all the squares with horses.
> Guard: Now, use your magic to show me all the squares with horses. Good.

Panel 4. Shot of the sorcerer, visibly very bored by all these tests, opening his mouth.
> Guard (off-panel): Finally, prove that you're an adult by closing and opening your mouth.  
> Sorcerer: Really?...
* Notes:
This comic strip is a critique of the too many security steps in 2025: login/password, 2FA security code, captchas, and adult verification via webcam expression.
