A two-panel SMBC comic. In the first panel, a red-haired man and a bespectacled woman lie on the grass gazing up at the sky; the man says, "Sometimes, I look at the clouds, and I feel they're speaking the truth to us." In the second panel, a close-up of the woman with her eyes shut, she replies flatly, "Fuck you, John." A blue banner caption beneath reads: "THE CLOUD-SHAPING MACHINE WAS A GOOD USE OF OUR SAVINGS" - revealing that the couple literally paid to have the clouds reshaped. The votey aftercomic shows a hand-drawn sketch of a forlorn elephant lying on the ground, with the caption: "Admittedly, the new mortgage was a mis-step."
