A three-panel SMBC comic with a yellow title banner reading 'COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET DIDN'T GO SO WELL.' Panel 1: a nervous young man against a yellow background says 'MOM, DAD, I'M A HOMO-'. Panel 2: his older father and red-haired mother stare back, shocked. Panel 3: in a wide green-backgrounded shot, the young man faces his parents (seen from behind) and finishes the word: 'POTAMUS.' The joke is that the apparent coming-out statement is actually the start of the word 'hippopotamus.' Votey aftercomic: a hand-drawn close-up of the young man's face with a speech bubble adding, 'The most sexually typical potamus.'
