A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a smiling dark-haired man chuckles "heh heh" as someone holds up a framed picture of a perfume bottle labeled "eau de butts / Dog Perfume." Panel 2: a red-haired person reading asks, "You ever wonder if dogs draw hilarious comics about OUR foibles?" Panel 3: captioned "Elsewhere...", a dog sits before a blank canvas chuckling "heh heh." Panel 4: the dog's comic is revealed as a framed list an old bald man points to: "I live for 12 dog lifetimes: 3 confused, 3 resentful, 3 fearful, 3 regretful" — the dog's joke about humans is that, from a dog's short-lived perspective, a human's long life is just decades of confusion, resentment, fear, and regret. Votey: a simple smiling human face declares in a speech bubble, "I believe I last forever," oblivious to the dog's grim observation.
