An SMBC comic showing a single split panel. On the left, against a red background, a curly-haired man holds a phone in one hand and a slice of pizza in the other, grinning as he says into the phone, "I'm having a sandwich right now. HA! It's actually PIZZA, sucker!" On the right, against a blue background, a man holding a pink phone replies flatly, "Uh... okay." A yellow lightning burst between them reads "CLICK" as the recipient hangs up. The caption below reads: "Think this is a lousy prank call? You won't after the 48th time." Votey (aftercomic), drawn in rough black and white: the same caller asks, "Is your refrigerator running?" The recipient answers, "Y-yes?" and the caller declares, "That'll keep your food cold!" before a "CLICK!" hang-up. The joke is a series of pointless, anticlimactic prank calls that become funny only through sheer dogged repetition.
