Panel 1:
A bald man in glasses (an announcer/official): "We are announcing that henceforth, Fridays will be causal."
Panel 2:
Another man (skeptical, listening): "Don't you mean casual?"
Panel 3:
The bald man in glasses: "No. On Fridays, effects will follow from causes in a logical, clockwork manner."
Panel 4:
A woman: "What about the other days?"
Panel 5 (captioned "LATER..."):
A scene of chaos with lightning/energy bolts and indistinct scrawled figures, suggesting a world where cause and effect have broken down.
Panel 6:
A figure amid the chaos: "God I hate Mondays."
Votey:
A single disembodied eyeball with a blue iris floating against a white background. No text.

A six-panel SMBC comic playing on 'causal' versus 'casual.' Panel 1: a bald man in glasses announces, 'We are announcing that henceforth, Fridays will be causal.' Panel 2: a skeptical man asks, 'Don't you mean casual?' Panel 3: the bald man replies, 'No. On Fridays, effects will follow from causes in a logical, clockwork manner.' Panel 4: a woman asks, 'What about the other days?' Panel 5, labeled 'LATER...': a chaotic scene of crackling lightning bolts and scribbled indistinct figures, depicting a world where cause and effect have broken down. Panel 6: a figure in the chaos groans, 'God I hate Mondays.' The joke: if only Fridays obey orderly causality, every other day is acausal pandemonium. Votey (aftercomic): a single disembodied eyeball with a pale blue iris floating against a plain white background, with no text.
