A six-panel comic set in an Old West saloon. A mustached bartender confronts two patrons after a brawl, shouting "I said no brawling!" and "You got a way to pay for all this damage?" One cowboy-hatted patron admits "Dammit! I ain't got a way," but the other says "Oh. I got a way... I got a way right here," holding up something. The bartender replies, "Hey, you can't keep paying me in handjobs!" and the grinning patron says, "But I'm so good at it!" Votey: A hand-drawn line graph titled "Intelligence of SMBC Comics" (vertical axis) versus "Time" (horizontal axis). The line begins small and jagged, then swings up and down in ever-larger spikes over time, suggesting wildly inconsistent and increasingly extreme quality.
