A multi-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: an elderly woman in a purple dress cries "HELP ME, CONTEMPLATION GIRL!" while a red-bearded man holds a purple wallet beside her; a blue-haired superhero in a yellow costume (Contemplation Girl) flies in from the city skyline. Next panels: a green octopus latches onto the woman's face with a spiky "octopus!" sound effect, and Contemplation Girl swoops down. The woman gasps "WHAT... BUT... WHY WOULD.." Instead of saving her, Contemplation Girl hovers with crossed arms and lectures: "I THINK YOU SHOULD REFLECT ON THE LIFE CHOICES THAT LED TO YOU LYING IN A PUDDLE OF RAT-PEE WHILE AN OCTOPUS MAKES SWEET LOVE TO YOUR FACE." Lying on the ground with the octopus over her face, the woman concludes "I THINK I'M GONNA GO TO MED SCHOOL," while Contemplation Girl flies off shouting "CONTEMPLATION GIRL AWAYYYYYY!!" Votey (aftercomic): a single black-and-white panel of the octopus with closed, content eyes under the hand-lettered caption "I'M GONNA MOVE TO JAPAN."
