Panel 1 (caption banner): PROBLEM: WOMEN LIKE CONFIDENT MEN
A confident man with reddish-brown hair in a purple jacket and red shirt leans toward a blonde woman.
Confident man: HEY THERE, HOT STUFF.
In the background, a shy man with orange hair in a sweater vest stands hunched and looks away.
Panel 2 (caption banner): SOLUTION: KILL ALL CONFIDENT MEN
The orange-haired man now holds a large futuristic gun pointed off-panel, with the blonde woman beside him. The confident man recoils with a pained expression as red energy bolts strike him.
Orange-haired man (holding the gun): I HOPE YOU GUYS DON'T MIND.
Votey:
Two figures rendered in red silhouette face each other. The orange-haired (now formerly shy) man raises a hand and speaks sheepishly to the woman.
Man: HI... I LIVE WITH MY PARENTS...

A two-panel SMBC comic with yellow caption banners. Panel 1, captioned "PROBLEM: WOMEN LIKE CONFIDENT MEN," shows a smug man in a purple jacket leaning toward a blonde woman, saying "Hey there, hot stuff," while a hunched shy orange-haired man looks away in the background. Panel 2, captioned "SOLUTION: KILL ALL CONFIDENT MEN," shows the shy man now aiming a large futuristic gun, blasting the confident man (who recoils in pain) with red energy bolts as he says "I hope you guys don't mind." Votey: in red silhouette, the formerly shy man waves awkwardly at the woman and admits, "Hi... I live with my parents..." — implying that with the confident men gone, he has nothing left to offer.
