An SMBC comic titled "NEVER SLEEP WITH AN ARTIST:". The single color panel shows two men in bed at night: a blond man lying awake, looking uneasy, beside a dark-haired man who seems to be asleep. The blond man says, "That wasn't BAD sex! That was a performance piece about how modern life is too rapid to be fulfilling" -- reframing his poor sexual performance as deliberate avant-garde art. The black-and-white votey shows a woman in glasses leaning over a man hunched at a desk, frantically drawing. She begins, "Is this comic about yo--" and he cuts her off, furiously scribbling with a loud "SHNNNG!" -- dodging the question of whether the comic is autobiographical.
