A single-panel SMBC comic with an orange banner reading "MEANWHILE... SUPERMAN FAILS TO KICK HIS COCAINE HABIT." At a podium, a balding man in a suit holds up a large gold ceremonial key and says, "And we present you this key to the city. If there's ever anything you need-" A wide-eyed, sweating Superman cuts him off, shouting "FIFTY BUCKS!" The man stammers "Fifty b-" and Superman demands "NOW!" The joke: Superman, strung out, is hitting up a civic ceremony for drug money. Votey aftercomic: a rough sketch of Superman firing red heat-vision beams from his eyes to the side, no text.
