A seven-panel SMBC comic. A red-haired man tells a dark-haired woman that collecting samurai swords isn't just his idea, it's 'common local opinion.' She asks 'According to who?' He is then shown surrounded by a crowd of identical faceless gray robot figures who chant in his support: 'Husband is right!', 'I agree with the husband!', and 'Often the husband is right and this is a case that is one of those cases.' The woman objects: 'Those aren't real people! You're using a botnet!' The angry man insists 'How dare you!? It just happens that a large group of anonymous individuals support my viewpoint by screaming it,' as the robots chant 'He is right / Wife is wrong.' She asks if they just follow him around everywhere, and he replies, with the robots still standing between them, 'This is how I got promoted at work.' The votey (aftercomic) is a hand-drawn panel labeled 'Read Comics' showing a large central figure flanked by two crying figures.
