A two-panel comic contrasting reactions. Panel 1 (brown background): a caption reads "When someone tells you that your social views are equivalent to murder." A woman sits calmly, pointing, and says with total composure, "Well, we all have opinions, buddy." Panel 2 (red background): a caption reads "When a dentist tells you that you should floss more." The same woman is kneeling, arms flung wide, face contorted in despair, screaming, "I am garbage! Human garbage!" The joke is that moral accusations bounce off her but mild dental criticism utterly destroys her. Votey (aftercomic): a rough sketch of the woman with a sheepish, guilty look, admitting in handwriting, "But I'm probably not gonna floss."
