A mock infographic titled "SMBC PRESENTS 'WHY SHE WON'T DATE YOU' (answer on bottom)." Under the heading POSSIBILITIES are three illustrated options: A. Tin foil hat (a crumpled foil cone). B. Tin foil cape, with the words "Stay out of my spine!" scrawled on it. C. Crushing fear of Martian invasion, shown as a green alien recoiling from tiny planets and gagging "Bleach!" Printed upside-down at the bottom is the real answer: "ANSWER: SHE'S A CORPSE IN YOUR BASEMENT!"

Votey: A woman wearing a pointed tin-foil hat with an utensil-like point stares blankly while a speech bubble pleads, "Speak to me!" — implying the man is talking to the dead body he keeps in his basement.
