A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1 is a caption on parchment that reads: "LIFE TIP: WHENEVER PEOPLE ENGAGE IN FALSE HUMILITY, YOU CAN MAKE THEM FEEL BAD BY SINCERELY TRYING TO HELP." In each following panel a person makes a self-deprecating, fishing-for-reassurance remark and gets a sincere, brutally unhelpful agreement. Panel 2: a red-haired man says "I've never been the most attractive man," and a smiling brown-haired woman replies, "Lots of ugly people have been successful! Look at your brother!" Panel 3: a woman says "Sometimes I worry my coworkers don't respect me," and a bearded man in glasses replies, "Hey, if they did, you'd probably have to work a lot harder." Panel 4: a man lying sadly in bed says "I should've accomplished more with my life," and a woman beside the bed reassures him, "Don't linger on that. Honestly, nobody's even noticed." The votey (bonus panel) shows a cartoonist saying "My comics aren't so great," and a second person earnestly agreeing, "They are shit."
