An SMBC comic titled "NOT ALL VETERANS DESERVE RESPECT." In the main panel, a grumpy old man in a wheelchair, wearing glasses and suspenders, sits in a living room talking to a young blond boy seen from behind. The man says, "I lost my legs in the war." The boy asks, "Wow... which war?" The man replies, "The war between my legs and the fireplace!" The votey (bonus panel) is a crude black-and-white sketch revealing the literal scene: the old man in his wheelchair leans toward a roaring fireplace and sticks his legs directly into the flames while the boy watches, showing he didn't lose his legs in a military war but by burning them in the fire.
