Panel 1:
Man in a red jacket and green bow tie (looking down at a piece of paper, two shadowy figures seated behind him): "Secret meeting's at this room in the capital building at 3pm. The door's unlocked."
A figure in a purple fedora (foreground, facing him): "How can you have an unlocked door in a public building and be sure nobody ever goes in?"
Panel 2:
A door on a brick wall bearing a yellow warning triangle sign with the silhouette of a heavyset woman.

Two-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: In a dim room, a man in a red jacket and green bow tie reads from a paper, telling a figure in a purple fedora: "Secret meeting's at this room in the capital building at 3pm. The door's unlocked." The fedora man asks: "How can you have an unlocked door in a public building and be sure nobody ever goes in?" Panel 2: A door marked with a yellow hazard-triangle sign showing the silhouette of a heavyset woman, labeled "OVERWEIGHT WOMEN'S ROOM" - the joke being that such a stigmatizing room would never be entered. Votey aftercomic: The fedora man opens that door, peers in, waves and says "Hello ladies, I- HEYYYY...", his greeting trailing off awkwardly at what he sees inside.
