Panel 1:
Woman with red hair (smiling, excited): EVERYTHING IS IN FLUX! CELLS OF OUR BODIES ARE DYING AND BEING BORN RIGHT NOW! WE'RE SURROUNDED BY CONSTANTLY CHANGING MAGNETIC AND ELECTRIC FIELDS AND SOUNDS AND LIGHT WE CAN'T EVEN SEE!
Panel 2:
Man (skeptical, frowning): I DON'T SEE HOW THAT APPLIES.
Panel 3:
Red-haired woman (cheerful): IT DOESN'T, BUT IT'S NEAT!
Panel 4 (banner reads "MOMENTS AGO."):
The scene shifts back in time. The man stands in the foreground; in a bed behind him sit the red-haired woman and a blond man, both apparently nude under the covers.
Red-haired woman (alarmed): HONEY! IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!
Votey:
Caption: THE ONLY TRUE CONSTANT: SMBC WILL HAVE AT LEAST TWO DIRTY JOKES.

A four-panel comic. Panel 1: a smiling red-haired woman enthuses, "Everything is in flux! Cells of our bodies are dying and being born right now! We're surrounded by constantly changing magnetic and electric fields and sounds and light we can't even see!" Panel 2: a frowning man replies, "I don't see how that applies." Panel 3: the woman grins and says, "It doesn't, but it's neat!" Panel 4: a banner labeled "Moments ago" reveals the actual context — the man stands in the foreground while behind him, in a bed, the red-haired woman sits beside a blond man, both apparently naked under the covers. She says with alarm, "Honey! It's not what it looks like!" The joke: her cosmic rambling was a flailing attempt to distract her partner from catching her cheating. Votey (a single caption panel): "The only true constant: SMBC will have at least two dirty jokes."
