A tall SMBC comic. Panel 1, narration over a glowing portal: every time a human invents time travel, she goes back in time to stop Hitler. Panel 2: a man asks another man (drawn to resemble Hitler), "New Yorker! How are you so good at fighting time travelers?" He replies, "Practice." Panel 3, narration "In the year 3000, we give up." A worker in a hard hat says, "His kung fu is too powerful, even for our tauon beams." Panel 4: the worker announces, "Citizens of the galaxy! We are being invaded by time travelers from the end of eternity!" Panel 5, a bearded historian realizes with dread, "Only one man can stop them." Panel 6: a man pitches an idea on paper; a suited executive says, "This is the worst movie pitch I've ever heard." Panel 7: the presenter asks, "Because of Hitler saving the galaxy?" The executive replies, "Because it's not based on a pre-existing franchise, but I take your point." Votey: a close-up of the executive's face saying, "Carry on then."
