Votey:
A sketchy line-drawn panel showing a person with a pained, gritted-teeth expression.

A three-panel SMBC comic titled "BAD ASS ACTIVITY #42: USING CATCH-PHRASES FOR UNIMPORTANT OCCURRENCES." Panel 1: a dark-haired woman in blue asks a brown-haired man in green, "Honey, could you wash some utensils before dinner?" Panel 2: a dramatic shadowed close-up of the man as he says, "Oh... I was bound to..." Panel 3: the man, now lit and scowling like a tough action hero, delivers the catch-phrase: "Spooner or later" (a pun on "sooner or later" plus the utensil, the spoon). Votey: a rough sketch of a person grimacing with gritted teeth, with speech bubbles reading "Fork you!" and "Dammit!" — a follow-up punning on utensil names (fork) that the character is annoyed to have made.
