(The main comic is a nearly wordless vertical sequence resembling an animated intro/title sequence, read top to bottom.)
Panel 1: A lumpy gray asteroid tumbling through black starry space.
Panel 2: A group of green aliens with large black eyes, crowded together against a colorful city skyline, looking up with worried expressions.
Panel 3: A burst of red, jagged energy/explosion with a green landmass (a continent or planet) at its center, as if being struck or scorched.
Panels 4-6: A glowing yellow projectile / payload streaks across the black starfield, trailing a comet-like tail, shown in successive frames moving across space.
Panel 7: The glowing projectile arcs down toward the blue-and-green planet Earth.
Panel 8: A large structure of tilted panels under an open sky. A small sign on it reads: "SOLAR ARRAY".
Panel 9: A house sitting in an open field, connected by a wire/cable running from the solar array.
Panel 10: A man seated at a desk. A sign in front of him reads: "WORLD'S BADDEST VOODOO".
Votey:
A man (drawn in profile, resting against a couch or bed) speaks: "SHIT. THAT'S A WAY BETTER NAME THAN SMBC THEATER."

A tall, mostly wordless SMBC comic presented as a sequence of cinematic title-sequence frames read top to bottom: a gray asteroid tumbling through starry space; a cluster of worried green big-eyed aliens against a city skyline; a jagged red explosion with a green continent at its center; a glowing yellow comet-like projectile streaking across the starfield in several frames; the projectile arcing down toward planet Earth; a structure of tilted panels labeled 'SOLAR ARRAY'; a lone house in a field wired to it; and finally a man at a desk beside a sign reading 'WORLD'S BADDEST VOODOO.' In the votey, a man slumped against a couch says, 'Shit. That's a way better name than SMBC Theater.' The joke: this grand, dramatic intro sequence is for something absurdly titled 'World's Baddest Voodoo,' and the cartoonist admits it beats his own show's name.
