Panel 1:
Blonde woman (Sally): The game is called "Never have I ever." You say "Never have I ever," then say something you've never done. Then everyone who HAS done it has to raise her hand!
Two seated women: (listening)
Panel 2:
Sally: Sally, you go first!
Woman with wild red hair (sweating, nervous): Never have I ever kept my hand down in response to this question.
Panel 3:
The red-haired woman looks distressed; the other women look concerned.
Panel 4:
BOOM!
(An explosion erupts from the red-haired woman.)
Panel 5:
Close-up of the red-haired woman's face, eyes now glowing/swirling with rainbow colors, hair ablaze — she has apparently been broken by the logical paradox.

Caption: MORE REALISTIC:
Woman (looking annoyed/disgusted): FUCK YOU SALLY.

A five-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A cheerful blonde woman explains a party game to two seated women: "The game is called 'Never have I ever.' You say 'Never have I ever,' then say something you've never done. Then everyone who HAS done it has to raise her hand!" Panel 2: She says "Sally, you go first!" A nervous, sweating woman with wild red hair responds: "Never have I ever kept my hand down in response to this question" — a self-referential paradox. Panel 3: The red-haired woman looks increasingly distressed as the others watch with concern. Panel 4: A large "BOOM!" — an explosion bursts from her as her brain fails to resolve the paradox. Panel 5: Close-up of her face, hair on fire and eyes swirling with rainbow colors, broken by the logic loop. Votey (aftercomic): Captioned "MORE REALISTIC:" — a black-and-white drawing of an annoyed woman flatly saying "FUCK YOU SALLY," the realistic human reaction to being asked a trick paradox question instead of melting down.
