A single-panel SMBC comic. A balding man in a green sweater sits at a table behind a bowl of cereal, gripping a spoon that crackles with electricity. Jagged lightning bolts arc all around him and his body convulses, his face twisted in agony as he screams in a speech bubble, "WHY?! WHY?!" The caption below reads: "One of Edison's less popular inventions was the electric spoon." The votey (a follow-up panel) shows a hand-drawn close-up of a scowling man resembling Thomas Edison, glaring out at the reader and declaring, "Edison don't need no reason!"
