Oh, I thought maybe they were reading her mind and the images were memories.

I thought these were images communicated by the group we see standing there as their answers and was trying to decipher the visual puns

I like that idea. Maybe I'll make a sequel where someone asks to join, and they delve into that person's deepest memories. Examples: childhood sibling rivalry, first kiss, being fired from a job, etc. All is good, and they will probably be accepted. Then, they see a memory where the person did something slightly embarrassing (saying, "thanks, you too!" to a server telling them to enjoy their meal). And they get rejected based on that.

mindreading and telepathy are different things; seeing the applicant's past played out is a different kind of psychic power than being able to say "yo bob what do you think?" in someone else's brain

Good point. I will have to explore this distinction in future Telepathy Snub comics.

That said, personally I do like this comic and it worked for me.

I do wish there was some kind of ~~~~ wavy-line professor x kind of visualization of all the telepaths exchanging info.

one last note: it'd be cool if there was some kind of 'well if you have to flap your lip meat to ask.... then probably not'
