The comic is drawn as a tilted polaroid-style photo of a future SMBC strip, set against a blue and purple background.

Inside the photo, two people stand facing each other.

Woman (with reddish hair, gesturing): I miss having control of my endocrine system.

Man (dark hair, green shirt): Our robot overlords are not perfect in every way.

Caption along the bottom of the photo: SUSAN AND STEVE WERE CRAZY AND STUPID. ALL HAIL ORGTRON 5,000!

Votey:
A man (reddish hair) speaks to another person seen from behind.

A mock SMBC comic presented as a tilted instant-photo titled "SMBC Presents: Comics From The Future ~ Episode 1 ~ Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal from March 2, 2017." In the photo, a red-haired woman tells a dark-haired man, "I miss having control of my endocrine system," and he replies, "Our robot overlords are not perfect in every way." A caption along the bottom reads, "Susan and Steve were crazy and stupid. All hail Orgtron 5,000!" The joke imagines a future where an AI overlord (Orgtron 5,000) has taken control of humans' bodies, framed cheerily as good news. Votey: a small black-and-white panel where a red-haired man asks a person seen from behind, "Are humans being fed to each other?" and a single word below answers, "No."
