A two-panel SMBC comic titled "The Importance of Interrogative Pronouns." In both panels a smug brown-haired woman faces a dark-haired man seen from behind. Panel one, labeled "Juvenile Insult," shows her grinning as she says, "I know you are, but... what am I?" Panel two, labeled "Existential Crisis," shows the same line with one word dropped: "I know you are, but... am I?" Her face is now wide-eyed with dread, the playground taunt collapsing into a question about her own existence. The votey shows a black silhouette of a worried face with white eyes and a hesitant mouth, captioned simply: "NO."
