Transcript
Panel 1 (single panel):
A man with orange/flame-like hair (seen from behind/side, facing the others) speaks in a large speech bubble:
Man with orange hair: "WHAT IF WE SELECTIVELY BIND FERROMAGNETIC PARTICLES TO THEM, THEN USE A POWERFUL MAGNET TO MOVE THEM INTO A SEPARATE REGION?"
In the scene at what appears to be a party or social gathering, a woman with round glasses and dark hair stands in the foreground looking unimpressed/deadpan. Behind her, three other guests (one with dark skin and a tie, one with light hair, and one bearded man in a green shirt) are talking and laughing among themselves.
Caption (below panel): "Thanks to chemistry, we discovered the most subtle way to remove unwanted guests."
Votey:
A close-up of a face (only the eyes and mouth visible) looking sidelong/uneasy. A speech bubble reads:
"Pro: it worked
Con: everyone is dead."

A single-panel SMBC comic set at a party. A man with flame-like orange hair, seen from behind, says in a large speech bubble: "What if we selectively bind ferromagnetic particles to them, then use a powerful magnet to move them into a separate region?" In the foreground a woman with round glasses gives a flat, unimpressed look, while three other party guests chat and laugh in the background. The caption below reads: "Thanks to chemistry, we discovered the most subtle way to remove unwanted guests." The joke: an absurdly over-engineered chemistry scheme is proposed as a way to get rid of unwanted partygoers. Votey (aftercomic): a hand-drawn close-up of an uneasy face with a speech bubble listing "Pro: it worked / Con: everyone is dead" — the plan succeeded but killed everybody.
