An SMBC comic with an orange title banner reading "HAPPY TRUTH: SOMETIMES, THE SYSTEM DOES WORK." In a single panel, a patient in a yellow shirt sits facing a doctor who wears a white coat, tie, and a head mirror. The patient says, "I'm suffering from anxiety over whether you'll prescribe me medical marijuana!" The doctor replies, "Sounds like you need some medical marijuana." Votey (aftercomic): a black-and-white close-up of the now-grinning patient holding up a prescription pill bottle, saying, "If you say so..." The joke: the patient manufactures a complaint that conveniently qualifies as its own cure, and the doctor obliges.
