Transcript
Panel 1:
Man with flame-like hair: Hey geeks! I'm 'bout so ready it's years ago. Half-way I released a popular science book called BOOKEW.
Woman: I became a new mom. This is impossible talking to all of you.
Panel 2:
Man with flame-like hair: Those of you who read the book know we have a whole section on questions like definitions for various reasons. Right we didn't say is that we also have a half-finished chapter due to space constraints.
Man with flame-like hair: We're just now launching a 2nd paperback edition, and we thought we might do that very share. The lost chapter, it's about advanced concepts in nuclear and space design. And it's freely available to anyone, just click this comic to check it out.
Panel 3:
Man with flame-like hair: If you haven't read the book, this is medium-tech future tech. The stuff we may or may not happen, may they might be amazing, and may they might be dangerous.
(label: PLUG COMICS)
Man with flame-like hair: So for this chapter, you'll get the basic deal on high-tension nuclear, and we want some people who say it may still have a chance. And some future stuff, designs might look like.
Panel 4:
Man with flame-like hair: There's also a short bonus section about the time we tried to do something nuclear-related, so explore our way to space.
Man with flame-like hair: And if you don't care, please press 'Z' to see today's regular update. Thanks for reading!

Votey:
Speech bubble: Touch me

A meta SMBC strip drawn in four panels. A man with flame-like (orange, spiky) hair addresses the reader directly, talking to a woman in the first panel who replies that she has become a new mom and finds it 'impossible' talking to everyone. Across the panels the flame-haired man promotes a popular-science book and a relaunched paperback edition, explaining there is a freely-available 'lost chapter' about advanced nuclear and space-design concepts that you can read by clicking the comic. He notes the chapter covers medium-tech future tech that may be amazing or dangerous, plus a short bonus section, and tells anyone who doesn't care to press 'Z' to see the day's regular update, thanking the reader. A small book or button labeled 'Z' appears in the final panel. Votey (the bonus aftercomic): a large button labeled 'Z' has a speech bubble above it saying 'Touch me'; a tiny box in the corner labeled 'me too' has an X on it. The joke is the eager 'Z' button begging to be touched while a smaller rival button pleads the same.
