Panel 1: A man with flame-like red hair sits at a desk working on a laptop.
Panel 2: He stands in a doorway, having just come home, setting down a bag or coat.
Panel 3 (close-up of his face, dismayed): "OH GOD. I FORGOT MY PHONE. I DON'T HAVE INTERNET ACCESS."
Panel 4: He lies on the floor, surrounded by dark swirling shadows.
Caption: INTROSPECTION
Panel 5: Still on the floor, lost in dark thoughts, he muses: "THINK ABOUT MAKING OF CATS? THINK ABOUT MOST VIEWED?"
Panel 6: He sits on a couch staring at a glowing television, the dark shadows looming behind him.
Panel 7: Close-up, panicked, shadows pressing in; he holds up his hands.
Panel 8: He clutches a game controller, screaming, with a large speech bubble: "NOOOOO!"
Panel 9: He hunches over the controller, gripping it tightly, illuminated in a burst of light as the shadows swirl around him.
Panel 10: A final small panel of him.
Text box: "HEH. THAT GUY MUST USE BALLS."
Votey:
A crude hand-drawn panel. A figure looks at a small handheld game device/screen and says: "HEH. WEBCOMICS."

A tall vertical SMBC comic. A red-haired man works on a laptop, then comes home and realizes in horror, "Oh god. I forgot my phone. I don't have internet access." Cut off from the internet, he collapses on the floor into swirling dark shadows labeled INTROSPECTION, his mind drifting to internet trivia ("think about making of cats? think about most viewed?"). He sits before a glowing TV as the shadows close in, then panics, grabs a game controller, and screams "NOOOOO!", hunched over and gripping it in a burst of light while darkness swirls around him. A final caption reads "Heh. That guy must use balls." The votey is a rough hand-drawn panel of a person glancing at a small handheld screen and smirking, "Heh. Webcomics." The joke: deprived of the internet, the man spirals into restless introspection rather than face being disconnected.
