A tall multi-panel SMBC comic. Narration over the panels tells a story. Panel 1: a bald man grabs and shoves a red-haired man ("SHHK SHK"); caption: "We were tired of bullies." Panel 2 caption: "We rounded them up and sent them to Mars, so they would no longer bother us." Panel 3: the exiled bullies stand at a chalkboard full of equations; caption: "Little did we know... that in their exile they would focus minds and develop new science." Panel 4: a grinning bald man holds a small device; caption: "Before we knew it, they discovered a way to remotely detonate any nuclear device." Panel 5: the White House; caption: "At which point, the result was inevitable." Panels 6-8: a video call between the bully and a worried President. The bully repeatedly taunts, "Why you annihilating yourself?" (a play on the schoolyard bully forcing a victim to hit themselves), each time bigger and more aggressive; the President insists "I'm not!" Panel 9: a nuclear explosion fireball. Votey: two men talk; one asks, "Did the nerds have any last words?" and the other answers, "'Come on, stop it, come on.'"
