A five-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a smiling man in a suit, sitting beside a woman, says, "Ants are stupid. They leave little chemical trails. If you disrupt the trails, they get totally confused." Panel 2: the woman says, "Give me your phone, Todd." Panel 3: she takes his phone. Panel 4: she has smashed the phone on the ground (shown in a burst) and, grinning, says, "Hey! You owe me a phone! You'll never find me because without it you don't know my name or your location." The man stares blankly, dismayed. Bottom wide panel: the man now stands alone outside on a sidewalk in front of a storefront, arms flung up triumphantly, declaring, "I'm pretty sure this is Canada!" The joke turns him into the disrupted ant from his own analogy. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the man looking determined as he thinks, "I just have to figure out which Canada!"
