A four-panel SMBC comic about how to pronounce "GIF." Panel 1: A dark-skinned person asks a light-haired person, "Do you pronounce it 'GIF' or 'JIF'?" The light-haired person replies, "That's a stupid discussion." Panel 2: The light-haired person, looking smug, says, "It's properly pronounced 'HYEEF' from the proto-germanic word meaning 'to put similarly pigmented objects next to each other.'" Panels 3 and 4 show the two characters as white silhouettes on a black background. The dark-skinned person says, "I know you're lying, but I want to believe." The light-haired person says, "Join me. Choose happiness." Votey: A hand-drawn branching tree diagram with "hyeef" at the top, splitting via three arrows into the variant pronunciations "yiff," "jif," and "gif" at the bottom.
