A three-panel SMBC comic with a caption above reading: 'FUN FACT: EVERYTHING SOUNDS MORE IMPRESSIVE IF YOU ADD THE WORD SOLO.' In each panel, a person describes a mundane activity made grand by adding 'solo,' and the listener reacts approvingly. Panel 1: a red-haired man says 'I just finished a solo climb of my apartment stairs,' and the woman replies 'DAMNING.' Panel 2: a man says 'After she didn't show up I made it to the end of the date, solo,' and a woman says 'NICE.' Panel 3: a woman says 'And that's how I became the first woman to solo a family size Doritos,' and a blonde listener says 'THAT IS SO IMPRESSIVE.' Votey (aftercomic): a rough black-and-white line drawing of two people talking. One says 'You're goin solo.' The other asks 'So I'm fired?' The first replies 'Way fired.' The joke turns the impressive-sounding word 'solo' into a euphemism for being fired and left alone.
