A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: An older bald man bursts into a room, pointing at a younger man in a red sweater named Ted, and shouts, "TED! I'M YOU FROM THE FUTURE! QUICK! I HAVE TO IMPREGNATE YOUR WIFE OR YOU'LL NEVER HAVE KIDS BEFORE TECHNOLOGY MAKES YOU FERTILE!" Panel 2, captioned "EARLIER THAT DAY...": A man in a suit holding a document excitedly tells the same bald older man, "YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE THIS! YOU HAVE A LONG LOST TWIN BROTHER!" The joke: the "future self" is actually just the long-lost twin brother using a time-travel cover story as an excuse to sleep with Ted's wife. Votey: A black-and-white sketch of three men standing together; the bald older one says, "I'M ACTUALLY FROM THE FUTURE! LET ME DO YOUR WIFE!", with "ME" emphasized.
