Panel 1:
A silhouetted figure stands in a doorway/airlock, another figure rushing past.
First figure: "NO SPACE ACE! DON'T! IT'S SUICIDE!"
Panel 2:
A lone figure stands on the surface beneath a vast purple space vista, a sleek spacecraft in the foreground, stars in the black sky.
Space Ace (offscreen/from the scene): "DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THAT?!"
Panel 3:
Caption box: "LATER..."
Inside a dim spacecraft interior with a porthole showing space outside, a figure with purple hair, an orange helmet/visor, and a brown coat hangs by the neck from a rope attached to the ceiling — having hanged himself.
Votey:
Handwritten note: "Fun fact: Panel 2 is the only well-drawn panel in SMBC history."

A three-panel space comic. Panel 1: a silhouetted figure in a lit doorway calls out to another who is rushing past, shouting "No Space Ace! Don't! It's suicide!" Panel 2: a single small figure stands on a surface beneath a sweeping purple alien sky with a sleek spaceship and stars; a voice replies "Don't you think I know that?!" Panel 3: labeled "Later...", the interior of a dim spacecraft with a porthole — the character (purple hair, orange visor, brown coat) hangs by a rope from the ceiling, having literally killed himself. The joke: "suicide" was meant figuratively, but Space Ace took it literally. Votey: a handwritten note reads "Fun fact: Panel 2 is the only well-drawn panel in SMBC history." — a self-deprecating jab, since panel 2 is the only detailed, polished-looking panel.
