A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel one is labeled NORMAL PERSON and shows a worried man with reddish hair in a green shirt saying, "I... I think I ran over your cat in your driveway." Panel two is labeled DOCTOR and shows a stern bespectacled person wearing the same flattened, run-over cat draped across the top of their head like a hat, replying, "Your driveway now contains both exo-cat and endo-cat" - a play on exoskeleton/endoskeleton, splitting the squashed cat into the part outside (on their head) and inside (on the ground). The votey aftercomic is a black-and-white close-up of the doctor with eyes screwed shut, snarling and clutching the cat-hat possessively, shouting, "I'M KEEPING IT!"
