An SMBC comic titled "BIG IDEA #23571926: MACABRE BUMPER STICKERS." The single panel shows the back of a car in close-up, with two round red and yellow tail-light-like circles marked with hand-drawn grids. A green bumper sticker on the car reads: "MY HONOR STUDENT METAMORPHOSED INTO THIS BUMPER, AND NO SCIENCE HAS YET BEEN ABLE TO RETURN HIM TO US" -- a dark parody of the proud "my honor student" bumper sticker, implying the child was transformed into the car's bumper. The votey (aftercomic) shows another bumper sticker reading "MY OTHER CAR WAS THE OTHER WOMAN," a grim twist on the "my other car is a..." joke.
