A two-panel SMBC comic with the header "Job interview tip: give original answers to typical questions." In the main panel, a bald, bespectacled interviewer sits across a desk from a dark-haired job applicant in a blue shirt and green tie. The interviewer asks, "So, why do you want to work at this company?" The applicant flatly replies, "Revenge." The votey is a rough black-and-white sketch of a wide-eyed man; a speech bubble asks "What motivates you?" and another answers, "Vengeance." The joke: deadpan, ominous one-word answers as supposedly clever interview responses.
