Panel 1:
A bully (off-panel speaker): "Hey DORK. Enjoying being a lonely boring virgin?"
A red-haired man wearing glasses, holding a red "Dungeons & Dragons Player Handbook" book: "We D&D players are sick of being stereotyped. I have a girlfriend and a great job!"
Panel 2:
The red-haired man is now sitting at a game table with friends, playing D&D.
The red-haired man: "Does that shut him up?"
A blond man across the table: "Only if you roll above a 16."
Small text on the side: "PHYSICISTS DO IT WITH LOW FREQUENCY"
Votey:
A black-and-white sketch: the red-haired man and the blond man embrace happily, one giving the other a high-five/celebratory clasp. A 20-sided die (d20) floats in the upper-left corner.

A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: outdoors by a tree, an off-panel bully sneers, "Hey DORK. Enjoying being a lonely boring virgin?" A smiling red-haired man in glasses holds a red Dungeons & Dragons Player's Handbook and replies, "We D&D players are sick of being stereotyped. I have a girlfriend and a great job!" Panel 2: the same red-haired man is at a game table with friends, mid-D&D-session, asking "Does that shut him up?" A blond man answers, "Only if you roll above a 16." The joke: even his comeback to the bully is treated as a dice roll. Tiny side text reads "Physicists do it with low frequency." Votey (a small black-and-white aftercomic): the red-haired and blond men hug and high-five in celebration while a 20-sided die floats nearby — they rolled high.
