Panel 1: A man with red hair in a green shirt bursts through a doorway, pointing at a bald, bearded tattoo artist.

A four-panel SMBC comic plus a votey. A red-haired man in a green shirt storms in and demands a bald, bearded tattoo artist tattoo information on his body because he can't form new memories and needs to remember things. The artist starts to say 'That's cool, have a seat and—' but the man rudely cuts him off: 'I didn't ask you to talk! Now, hurry up!' The artist mutters 'All right, then' and 'Goon...' In the final large panel, the smiling artist shows the man his freshly tattooed hand, which reads 'TURN HAND OVER FOR MORE INFORMATION.' Votey: a close-up of the man's hand turned over, revealing the tattoo on the other side simply says 'SUCKER' — the artist's revenge for the man's rudeness.
