A five-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A pigtailed girl in a pink dress smiles and says, "This is Poppy the unicorn!" beside a white unicorn. Panel 2: The girl gestures as the unicorn grazes; she says, "She eats grass in the meadow and her poops are made of puuuuure sugar!" Panel 3: A man in a suit and sunglasses asks, "Wait. She can convert forage grass directly into chemically pure monosaccharides?" The girl replies, "I guess so!" Panel 4: The man, now grinning and holding a fistful of cash, declares, "Bring me more of them." Panel 5: Captioned "Soon...", an exterior shot of a large industrial building with a sign reading "LEGENDARY BIOFUELS, INC" and a warning sign, "NO UNAUTHORIZED ADMITTANCE"—implying the magical unicorns are now being exploited as a sugar source for biofuel. Votey: A line-drawn unicorn head in profile looks uneasy beneath handwritten text that reads, "I'm helping the environment," delivering a grim, deadpan punchline about its fate.
