A single-panel SMBC comic. An older bald man with glasses and a mustache stands at a drafting table covered with blueprints, talking to a younger man in a yellow shirt. The older man says, "Well, this'll finish the project faster than planned. But, remember... Occam's tweezers." The younger man replies, "What? You mean Occam's razor?" The older man answers, "Nope." A caption below reads: "The simplest solution is the best way to lose your job security." The joke: an experienced worker cynically warns that the simplest, most efficient solution gets you fired, and jokingly renames Occam's razor as "Occam's tweezers." Votey (aftercomic): a cartoon square-bodied character with a face, arms, and legs gestures excitedly and shouts, "It's me! Single panel comic. Remember? REMEMBER?!" -- a meta gag about this comic being only one panel.
