A three-panel SMBC comic told in reverse time order. Panel 1 (the present): a red-haired man in a green shirt throws his arms wide and laughs, shouting "WAKA WAKA WAKA!" near a window, with a bald man's head in the foreground. Panel 2, captioned "10 seconds ago...": a dog sails through the air out of a lit apartment window against a dark city skyline. Panel 3, captioned "20 seconds ago...": a bald hitman in a suit holds a puppy and tells the red-haired man, "HEY, I'M HERE TO TAKE OUT YOUR MOM. BUT, I BOUGHT YOU A PUPPY DOG!" The man replies, "THAT REMINDS ME OF A JOKE." Reading backward reveals the man got a puppy, immediately threw it out the window, and is now cheerfully laughing about his own joke while a hitman is about to kill his mother. Votey: a crudely drawn grinning face laughs "HAHA HAHA HA!" at a tiny stick figure.
