antsy

A six-panel SMBC comic. A man in a hat (drawn mostly in dark silhouette) tells a red-haired woman, 'Sally, we need to break up.' She asks, 'Why? Is it because I'm not emotionally available enough?' He replies, 'No, it's because I'm actually a trenchcoat filled with ants.' Sally responds, 'Thaaaaat's why you're so weirdly altruistic.' The man, confused, says 'What?' then explains: 'Like when you do nice things for me without seeking money, status, or sex.' Sally looks concerned. She asks, 'Humans don't do that?' and he answers, 'I mean, on accident sometimes?' The joke: the trenchcoat-of-ants is baffled by genuine human altruism, while Sally is baffled to learn it's supposedly abnormal. In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of Sally's face deadpans, 'So, friends with benefits, then?'
