Panel 1:
Man with blond hair (holding out an open palm): PAPER WINS. BUT, LIKE ALL VICTORIES, THIS ONE IS BOTH TEMPORARY AND POINTLESS.
Caption below panel:
My favorite game is "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Creeping Sense of Emptiness."
Votey:
A diagram in the style of the recycling/cycle symbol, with three arrows forming a triangle. At each corner is a hand-drawn item: a rock (top), a pair of scissors (lower left), and a frowning, sad face representing the "Creeping Sense of Emptiness" (lower right/center). The arrows show the cycle of what beats what.

A two-panel SMBC comic. Main panel: a blond man in a blue shirt sits across from a woman with dark hair in a green sweater, her arms crossed and expression skeptical. The man holds out an open palm and says in a speech bubble, "Paper wins. But, like all victories, this one is both temporary and pointless." A caption beneath reads: My favorite game is "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Creeping Sense of Emptiness." Votey: a hand-drawn diagram mimicking the triangular recycling-cycle symbol, with three arrows forming a loop connecting a rock, a pair of scissors, and a frowning sad face that represents the "Creeping Sense of Emptiness," showing the four elements in an endless cycle of beating one another.
