A four-panel SMBC comic. A brown-haired woman in glasses asks an orange-haired woman where her fried chicken came from. The orange-haired woman cheerfully explains there's a giant chicken and a giant deep fryer who are best friends, and every day they hug so hard that delicious fried chicken pops out. A panel illustrates this: a chicken nuzzling a deep fryer with hearts above them and fried chicken pieces flying out. The brown-haired woman says, 'Okay, nevermind. You are being logically self consistent,' and the orange-haired woman says thank you. A final 'EARLIER...' banner shows the same orange-haired woman at a dinner table holding a paper, declaring, 'Ugh. Fox hunting is a disgusting sport.' In the votey aftercomic, the brown-haired woman asks about the orange-haired woman's fur coat, where it came from, and she happily answers, 'Coat store!' The joke is that her cheerful magical-thinking origin stories let her ignore the ethics of where things actually come from, despite condemning fox hunting.
