A two-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A blond man in a gray jacket urgently reaches toward a gray-haired woman wearing glasses, shouting 'Quick! I need a ball point pen, a rubber band and a five-dollar bill! Hurry!' She replies 'Here! I have the money!' Panel 2: The blond man now kneels on the ground clutching the cash with a satisfied grin, while a bearded man with blue hair stands by looking puzzled. The man with the cash says 'This is way easier than mugging.' The joke: he tricked her into handing over money by faking a clever MacGyver-style emergency, robbing her without it feeling like a robbery. Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of the grinning gray-haired woman. An off-panel voice asks 'What do you call it?' and she answers 'MacGuyvering' — cheerfully unaware she was just scammed.
