Panel 1:

An SMBC comic titled "THING I HATE: CONFLATING OBNOXIOUSNESS WITH HONESTY." A bearded man with flame-like blond hair and round glasses brags, "My blog posts piss off BOTH SIDES." A dark-haired man holding a drink replies, "You must be doing something right then." The bearded man then adds, "I'm an advocate for replacing all firewood with hamsters" — revealing his views are simply absurd, not bravely balanced. Votey: a crudely-drawn smiling face in close-up says "RIGHT ON, BRO," endorsing the ridiculous stance.
