Panel 1:
Red-haired young man (the son): "Mom, I've decided I'm a vegetarian. I can't eat these meatballs."
Panel 2:
The mother (brown hair, round glasses, yellow shirt): "The beef in those meatballs comes from black angus cattle. Black angus cattle have tiny horns and have many genetic disorders."
Panel 3:
Mother: "They continue to exist in abundance only because humans cultivate them for consumption."
Panel 4:
Mother: "The moment that stops, they will dwindle out of existence, and no mind of any sort will ever again know what it was to be a black angus cow."
Panel 5:
Mother (eyes bulging, intense expression): "MEAT is murder. Vegetarianism is GENOCIDE."
Panel 6:
Son: "You could've just said 'I'm not making two dinners.'"
Mother (leaning in over a bowl, wide-eyed): "I don't negotiate with MONSTERS."
Votey:
Close-up of the mother's face, drawn in rough sketchy black-and-white, eyes wide and crazed, mouth open. Hand-lettered caption above her: "SOY IS BOVIGENOCIDE!"

A six-panel SMBC comic at a dinner table. Panel 1: a red-haired young man tells his mother, "Mom, I've decided I'm a vegetarian. I can't eat these meatballs." Panels 2-4: the mother, in glasses and a yellow shirt, launches into an escalating monologue claiming the beef comes from black angus cattle that have tiny horns and genetic disorders and only exist in abundance because humans cultivate them for consumption; if that stops, she says, they will dwindle out of existence and no mind will ever again know what it was to be a black angus cow. Panel 5: in an extreme close-up, her eyes bulge and her face contorts as she declares, "MEAT is murder. Vegetarianism is GENOCIDE." Panel 6: the son flatly replies, "You could've just said 'I'm not making two dinners,'" and the wide-eyed mother leans in over a bowl and says, "I don't negotiate with MONSTERS." Votey aftercomic: a rough sketchy black-and-white close-up of the mother's crazed wide-eyed face with the hand-lettered caption, "SOY IS BOVIGENOCIDE!"
