A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a man in a suit and tie says "They say the best revenge is a life well-lived," while thinking "I used him." Panel 2: the man now stands at a colorful mini golf course and explains, "So, instead of getting mad, I quit my office job to live my childhood fantasy: running a mini golf course." Panel 3: a close-up of his content, smiling face: "Am I rich? No. Am I happy and fulfilled every day? You betcha." Panel 4: the twist — a grinning man with wild flame-like orange hair is shown against the funland backdrop, captioned "This. That guy who murdered my family," revealing the speaker is the murderer, smug and content about his post-revenge life. Votey (aftercomic): a large, slightly creepy grinning face fills the frame with scrawled text above reading "So... contented..."
