A mock survival guide titled "SMBC's Guide to Surviving the Nuclear War, Episode One: Things to Avoid." The single panel shows several finned nuclear missiles flying through a pink sky, captioned "Thing One: Nuclear Missiles." The joke is the absurd obviousness of the advice. Votey: a stick figure stands beside a huge explosion cloud labeled "BOOM!!", calmly saying "DAMN," under the caption "Thing 2: Nuclear Explosions" — continuing the gag with another comically obvious thing to avoid.
