A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a man with red, flame-like hair tells a woman, "Diana, I think we should see otter people." Panel 2: the woman, Diana, replies, "Don't you mean 'other people?'" Panel 3: the man's face, mouth open in shock or distress, against a bright green background. Panel 4: at night, the man lies in bed with a real otter draped across his face, saying, "When will the hatred stop?" — the joke being he literally meant otters, not other people. Votey (aftercomic): a black-and-white close-up of an elderly person's face with droopy, half-lidded eyes and a tired expression, with the small caption "So insightful."
