A three-panel comic. Panel one: a mustached man in a hat angrily shouts at a bearded red-haired man, 'HEY! STOP IT! STOP ROLLING UP MY PAINTINGS OF UNSEALED OBJECTS AND SMOKING OUT OF THEM!' Panel two: the bearded man calmly smokes a rolled-up painting like a joint, saying 'FUCK YOU, RENE MAGRITTE. I DIDN'T SEE ANY RULES POSTED.' The mustached man (Magritte) replies from off-panel, 'YOU WILL FROM NOW ON.' Panel three, labeled 'LATER': a framed painting of a pipe hangs on a wall, with a plaque reading 'THIS PAINTING EXPLORES THE MEANING OF ART AS REPRESENTATION' and small text under the pipe reading 'CECI N'EST PAS UNE PIPE' (This is not a pipe). The joke reframes Magritte's famous painting 'The Treachery of Images' as a passive-aggressive 'no smoking / this is not actually smokeable' sign. Votey: hand-lettered text reading 'FUCK YOU, RENE MAGRITTE', signed '-ZACH WEINERSMITH'.
