An SMBC comic. An orange title banner reads: "CONVERSATION TRICK #57721: SELF-REFERENTIAL PHRASES." In the single panel, an older balding man with gray hair, round glasses, and a green polo shirt points toward another person seen from behind (dark hair, red shirt). His speech bubble says, "I've got four words for you: Four equals three." The joke: the phrase "Four equals three" is itself four words, so it self-referentially declares four to equal three. Votey (aftercomic): a curly-haired person hunched over a desk, writing with a pen, thinking in a bubble, "Please let at least one person get this joke."
