Title banner: SMBC FROM THE FUTURE!
JUNE 18, 2027: RUNNING LOW ON IDEAS, ZACH BEGINS CAPTIONING OTHER PEOPLE'S COMICS

Panel: A man with orange flame-like hair leans over a comic strip, pen in hand, scrawling captions over the existing artwork. A speech bubble in the original comic he is defacing reads: "...LOVE LASAGNA!" In his own handwriting he has written across the panel: "And then he fu--ing died!"

Votey:
A defaced comic panel covered in scrawled handwritten text: "PUT DOWN THE GUN MARMADUKE! PUT IT- NO! NO!"

A mock "SMBC FROM THE FUTURE" comic. The yellow caption banner reads: "JUNE 18, 2027: RUNNING LOW ON IDEAS, ZACH BEGINS CAPTIONING OTHER PEOPLE'S COMICS." Below, an orange-haired man hunches over a printed comic strip, pen in hand, scribbling his own captions over someone else's artwork. The original strip's speech bubble says "...LOVE LASAGNA!" (a Garfield reference), but he has scrawled in his own handwriting across it: "And then he f---ing died!" The joke is the cartoonist vandalizing wholesome newspaper comics with crude, morbid captions. Votey: another defaced panel where scrawled handwriting reads "PUT DOWN THE GUN MARMADUKE! PUT IT- NO! NO!", turning the Marmaduke comic into a violent standoff.
