This cartoon caption illustrates the idea that statistical procedures based on the normality assumptions are often sensitive to heavy tailed populations and outliers. The cartoon was used in the June 2024 CAUSE cartoon caption contest and the winning caption was written by Charlie Smith from North Carolina State University. The cartoon was drawn by British cartoonist John Landers (www.landers.co.uk) based on an idea by Dennis Pearl from Penn State University.
