Main comic: A single panel showing a man in a tuxedo and bow tie, drawn in SMBC's color style. He holds a sandwich in one hand and turns his other palm up in a shrug, eyes shut in bafflement, saying "I DON'T GET IT..." A caption beneath reads "James Bond eats a sandwich." The joke is the anticlimactic mundanity of a suave secret agent simply eating a sandwich and finding nothing remarkable about it.
Votey (aftercomic, hand-drawn black-and-white): A heading reads "Reading this 10 years later..." A bearded man (the cartoonist) looks at a screen, thinking "Me neither" — admitting that even he, years on, doesn't get his own old joke.
