Title caption (top of panel 1): THE BEST WAY TO RUIN A PROTEST.

Panel 1: A man with reddish hair holds up a protest sign reading "IT'S ADAM AND EVE, NOT ADAM AND STEVE!" A woman stands in the background looking at him.

Panel 2 (caption across top): IS TO DOIN IT BADLY.

Panel 2: The man still holds his sign reading "IT'S ADAM AND EVE, NOT ADAM AND STEVE!" The woman now holds up her own competing sign, which reads "IT'S LOT AND HIS DAUGHTERS, NOT LOT AND HIS SONS!"

A two-panel SMBC comic. Top caption of the first panel reads "THE BEST WAY TO RUIN A PROTEST." A red-haired man holds a protest sign that says "IT'S ADAM AND EVE, NOT ADAM AND STEVE!" while a woman watches in the background. The second panel's caption reads "IS TO DOIN IT BADLY." Now the woman holds up her own counter-sign reading "IT'S LOT AND HIS DAUGHTERS, NOT LOT AND HIS SONS!" — referencing a more disturbing Bible story to undercut his slogan. The joke: she ruins his moralizing protest by mirroring its smug rhyming format with a far worse example. Votey aftercomic: a close-up of a man's face deadpanning, "YOUR CLEVER SIGNAGE HAS SHOWN ME THE ERROR OF MY WAYS."
