Panel 1:
Person with orange hair (back to us, walking in a snowy landscape): Can video games be art?
Panel 2:
Woman with glasses and dark curly hair: Let me ask you a different question. Can video games be ZINKYDOINK?
Panel 3:
Person with orange hair: What's ZINKYDOINK?
Woman with glasses: It's a term for a certain type of stuff, with no agreed-upon parameters, which can be used to describe literally anything given the proper context.
Panel 4:
Person with orange hair (now looking frustrated): Okay, okay. I get it. Nevermind.
Panel 5:
Woman with glasses (in silhouette): God, you're obtuse.
Person with orange hair (in silhouette, arms raised): But am I ZINKYDOINK?!

A five-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A person with orange hair, seen from behind in a snowy field, asks, "Can video games be art?" Panel 2: A woman with glasses and dark curly hair replies, "Let me ask you a different question. Can video games be ZINKYDOINK?" Panel 3: The orange-haired person asks "What's ZINKYDOINK?" and the woman explains, "It's a term for a certain type of stuff, with no agreed-upon parameters, which can be used to describe literally anything given the proper context" (a parody of the endless "can games be art?" debate). Panel 4: The orange-haired person, now looking frustrated, says, "Okay, okay. I get it. Nevermind." Panel 5: Both figures shown in silhouette; the woman says, "God, you're obtuse," while the orange-haired person throws up their arms and demands, "But am I ZINKYDOINK?!" Votey aftercomic: An angry close-up of the orange-haired person's scowling face as an off-panel voice answers, "No, and you never will be!"
