A two-panel SMBC comic. Main panel: a yellow banner reads "BAD USE OF A TIME MACHINE #161803: MAKING A PUN AT THE MOST OFFENSIVE MOMENT POSSIBLE." Below, a man in a red cloak (Julius Caesar) lies collapsed and dying on the floor after being stabbed. A small floating time-machine pod with a grinning person's face in its window hovers nearby and taunts: "HEY, CAESAR! ARE YOU HAVING A KNIFE DAY? EHEHEHEHEHE" — a pun on "nice day" / the knives used to assassinate Caesar. Votey panel: the same time-traveler, sketched, looks self-satisfied and adds, "I hope that joke works in Latin."
