An SMBC comic. In a single panel, a balding man in a brown jacket sits at a counter across from a smiling blonde woman, holding a small gray tranquilizer device pointed at her. The woman, mid-conversation, says: "And so then we moved back to... did you just try to tranquilize me?" The man, caught, replies: "Uh... yeah, I suppose I did." Unfazed, she adds: "I'm actually naturally immune. Weird, huh?" He weakly answers "Y-yeah." The caption below reads: "Man, she was really making this awkward." In the votey aftercomic, a black-and-white close-up of the smiling woman's face, she cheerfully adds: "It just makes me more chatty!" The joke: the man tried to knock her out to escape a tiresome conversation, but the tranquilizer not only failed, it made her even more talkative.
