Transcript
Panel 1 (narration caption): For some reason, political analysts often use terms from physics.
Man on TV screen (speech bubble): There's a lot of energy and momentum in the base this year.
Panel 2 (narration caption): This is good because it drives nerds crazy.
Redheaded man with glasses (speaking angrily): I refuse to understand the plainly intended meaning AND THAT MAKES ME ANGRY!!
Panel 3 (narration caption): But, given this desirable effect...
[Redheaded man watching the TV, scowling.]
Panel 4 (narration caption): Why can't we take it to the next level?
Woman on TV screen (speech bubble): Her specific impulse is off the voltmeter. We haven't seen this many newton-pounds of magnetic flux density since a young JFK!
[Redheaded man screams/recoils in fury at the screen.]
Votey: A figure stands in front of the TV/monitor with a violent black-and-red explosion of jagged lines bursting from where their head would be — head exploding from rage. A small speech bubble from the TV says: optics.

A six-panel SMBC comic. Pink narration captions run across the panels. Caption: "For some reason, political analysts often use terms from physics." A man on a TV screen says, "There's a lot of energy and momentum in the base this year." Caption: "This is good because it drives nerds crazy." A red-haired man in glasses, face contorted with rage, says, "I refuse to understand the plainly intended meaning AND THAT MAKES ME ANGRY!!" Caption: "But, given this desirable effect... why can't we take it to the next level?" A woman on the TV screen says, "Her specific impulse is off the voltmeter. We haven't seen this many newton-pounds of magnetic flux density since a young JFK!" The red-haired man screams in fury at the screen. Votey (bonus panel): a person stands before the monitor, their head replaced by a violent black-and-red explosion of jagged lines, while a tiny speech bubble from the TV simply says "optics."
