Panel 1: A bald, bearded man in a red Renaissance-style coat with a white ruff collar gestures and recites poetry.
Man: "They flee from me that sometimes did me seek, / with naked foot stalking in my chamber. / I have seen them gentle, tame and meek, / that now are wild and do not remember."
Panel 2: A small blonde person in a purple robe stands alone, replying.
Blonde person: "Maybe it's because you're in a giant robot exoskeleton now, Sir Thomas Wyatt."
Panel 3: A wide shot reveals the bearded man (Sir Thomas Wyatt) seated inside the cockpit of a giant robotic exoskeleton. A weapon mounted on the machine fires a bright yellow-green beam at a small fleeing figure (a deer/animal) at lower left, which is being blasted apart.
Votey: A roughly-drawn black-and-white panel. Caption at top: "ME DRAWING ON A TABLET FOR THE FIRST TIME". A scruffy person hunches over a tablet, drawing with a stylus.
Person: "I'm a hacker now..."

A three-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a bald, bearded man in a red Renaissance coat with a white ruff collar gestures dramatically, reciting Sir Thomas Wyatt's poem: "They flee from me that sometimes did me seek, with naked foot stalking in my chamber. I have seen them gentle, tame and meek, that now are wild and do not remember." Panel 2: a small blonde figure in a purple robe responds: "Maybe it's because you're in a giant robot exoskeleton now, Sir Thomas Wyatt." Panel 3: a wide shot reveals the man sitting in the cockpit of a giant robotic mech, which fires a bright yellow-green energy beam that blasts apart a small fleeing animal in the distance, explaining why the once-tame creatures now flee from him. Votey (bonus panel): a crude black-and-white sketch captioned "ME DRAWING ON A TABLET FOR THE FIRST TIME," showing a scruffy person hunched over a tablet with a stylus, declaring "I'm a hacker now..."
