A two-panel comic. In the main panel, a brown-haired man seen from behind argues with a smirking man in a yellow shirt. The brown-haired man shouts, "DAMMIT! For the last time, I'm not a mysterious traveler from the uncivilized past." The yellow-shirted man replies smugly, "Clever. But I've picked up on subtle linguistic cues to your temporal home. Nice try, time voyager!" A caption beneath reads: "This is the appropriate response to the use of the word 'faggot.'" The joke: when someone uses a slur, treat them as if they're a confused traveler from a less civilized past era. In the votey aftercomic, a content woman with short dark hair smiles with her eyes closed and says, "I feel so much better now that I think everyone I hate is a time traveler."
