A three-panel SMBC comic riffing on Alice in Wonderland. Panel 1: a white rabbit tells the scowling Queen of Hearts, 'There's an intruder in Wonderland,' and she snaps, 'What?! Send her an insult!' Panel 2: the rabbit, now holding a small cake, says, 'We're all out of paper. All we have to write on is this gigantifying cake!' The Queen replies, 'Then do so!' Panel 3: blonde Alice in her blue dress stands at a table where a cake is iced with the classic pink lettering 'EAT ME' — except here it's meant as the insult. The joke: the famous 'Eat Me' cake is reinterpreted as a rude command rather than an invitation. Votey aftercomic: a close-up of the cake showing the full message in pink frosting, 'EAT ME, BITCH.'
