A single-panel SMBC comic set in a courtroom. A robed judge sits at the bench in the background; the back of a blond lawyer's head in a blue jacket is in the foreground. A man in an orange shirt sits in the witness stand, hands raised mid-gesture, saying, "Well... for starters, I shot all those people." The caption reads: "Steve angles for the insanity defense." The joke: he's volunteering a murder confession as though it strengthens an insanity plea. Votey: a crudely drawn grinning face with handwritten text saying, "Then later I lied about it. I'm bonkers!"
