Setting: A speed dating event. A sign on the wall reads "WELCOME TO SPEED DATE NIGHT!"
Panel 1:
A woman with glasses (seated across from a man at a small table) speaks enthusiastically:
Woman: "Well, I work with tiny little babies! And I just love 'em! And I don't care what anyone says, I don't believe in bad babies!"
Panel 2:
The man responds flatly, holding a notecard:
Man: "That's really sweet."
Panel 3:
The man looks down and writes on his notecard while the woman smiles. The card he is filling out bears handwritten notes (his private assessment), the legible portion reading something to the effect of: "Channa [heart], crazy. Lol, gravy. See ya, suckers!" with a doodle/scribble.
Votey:
Close-up on the man's face, grinning ominously, with a speech bubble:
Man: "There will only be good babies."

A four-panel SMBC comic set at a speed dating event, under a wall sign reading "Welcome to Speed Date Night!" Panel 1: A cheerful woman with glasses leans forward and gushes, "Well, I work with tiny little babies! And I just love 'em! And I don't care what anyone says, I don't believe in bad babies!" Panel 2: The man across from her replies flatly, "That's really sweet," holding a notecard. Panel 3: He looks down and scribbles private notes on his card while she keeps smiling, unaware. In the votey aftercomic, the panel zooms in on the man's face wearing a wide, slightly sinister grin as he declares, "There will only be good babies." The joke: his bland politeness hides an unsettling, controlling agenda hinted at by his card and final line.
