A single-panel comic shows a group of penguins standing on top of a large white-and-blue iceberg. The lead penguin (the captain) declares, "THIS IS THE GREATEST ICEBERG IN THE HISTORY OF OUR SPECIES!" A smaller penguin warns, "CAPTAIN! THERE'S A GIANT BOAT IN OUR PATH!" The captain replies, "RAM IT. WE ARE INVINCIBLE." A third penguin protests, "CAPTAIN! THAT'S HUBRIS!" A caption beneath reads: "Penguins have a much happier version of the Titanic story." The joke flips the Titanic disaster so the iceberg's crew are the proud, invincible heroes. Votey: A black silhouette of the captain bird says dismissively, "They are ants. Ants." — comparing the doomed humans on the boat to insignificant ants.
