A single-panel SMBC comic. A blonde-haired mother sits at a table with a mug and asks her son, "Where are you going, son?" The brown-haired young man, standing and looking determined, replies, "I'm gonna kill some potential Hitlers." A caption below reads: "Best possible scenario: Time machine construction. Most likely scenario: Jerking off in the shower." The joke is the gap between his grandiose claim of going back in time to assassinate future Hitlers and the mundane reality implied by the caption. In the votey aftercomic, a black-and-white close-up of the smug young man shows him thinking, "Time to jerk off in the time machine" — combining both scenarios into one.
