A two-panel SMBC comic. The first panel is labeled "BAD OUTCOME": an orange-haired man stands in a lit doorway facing a woman, saying, "I'm a sex offender. Yeah. I look the same as everyone else. Even your own neighbor." The second panel is labeled "GOOD INTENTION" and is set earlier: the same man sits at a laptop telling a dark-haired woman, "I think my Halloween costume should have a social message this year," and she replies, "Oh?" The joke is that his earnest plan to make a socially-conscious Halloween costume results in him dressing as a sex offender and creeping people out at their doors. Votey: a close-up of the man's grumpy face shouting "GIMME CANDY!"
