A two-panel SMBC comic. The main panel has a yellow header reading "CONVERSATION TIPS: WITH EMPHASIS, ANY OBJECT ON THE BODY BECOMES AN INSULT." Below, a brown-haired man in a green shirt gesticulates while addressing a balding, bespectacled man seen from behind, saying "Hey there, SHOES" with sarcastic emphasis on "shoes," turning an ordinary greeting into a mocking jab. The votey aftercomic shows a hand-drawn close-up of a frowning face, with off-panel text reading "Nice FACE, nose"—emphasizing "face" and "nose" to insult body parts in the same backhanded way.
