A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel one: a dark-haired man in a yellow shirt stands alone against a yellow background, thinking, "I wish other people were as self aware and introspective as me." Panel two: the same man, now wearing dark sunglasses and a blue jacket, stands amid a crowd of ordinary-looking people at a gathering, thinking, "It's hard being this special." The visual joke is that despite priding himself on self-awareness, he is oblivious to how unremarkable he is among the crowd. Votey aftercomic: a hand-lettered caption in quotation marks reads, "I'm special and different. TV said so!"
