Panel 1: A man with reddish, slightly long hair and a beard, wearing round glasses and a green t-shirt, sits at a computer typing in a dimly lit room.
Man: "...You can't believe in evolution AND believe homosexuality is genetic."
Panel 2: The same scene rendered in stark silhouette — the man, computer, and keyboard shown as white-on-black shapes.
Man: "...Why would gay genes persist? As we all know, all human beings ever born are optimized for heterosexual procreation."
Panel 3: A closer view of the man's face, looking smug/self-satisfied as he continues talking.
Man: "...Anyway, my RPG just finished downloading. No more blogs for two weeks. Mom, if you're reading this, STAY OUT OF MY ROOM."
Votey:
A hand-drawn, sketchy view from behind the man, looking over his shoulder at his computer monitor. On the screen is a character-creation menu reading:
Race: Elf
Sex: Female_

A three-panel SMBC comic. A man with reddish hair, a beard, round glasses, and a green shirt sits at a computer in a dark room, pontificating into a blog. Panel 1: 'You can't believe in evolution AND believe homosexuality is genetic.' Panel 2 (shown in white-on-black silhouette): 'Why would gay genes persist? As we all know, all human beings ever born are optimized for heterosexual procreation.' Panel 3 (close-up of his smug face): 'Anyway, my RPG just finished downloading. No more blogs for two weeks. Mom, if you're reading this, STAY OUT OF MY ROOM.' The votey, a sketchy drawing seen over his shoulder, reveals his computer screen showing an RPG character-creation menu: 'Race: Elf, Sex: Female' — the punchline being that this loud anti-gay blogger plays as a female elf character, undercutting his own posturing.
