A six-panel SMBC comic. A young boy walks beside the superhero the Flash (red costume, lightning-bolt chest emblem) and asks, 'Hey Flash, can you think super fast?' The Flash replies, 'No, just run super fast.' The boy presses on: 'Then how do you control your legs? What transmits the electrochemical signals to keep running?' Eyes closed and serene, the Flash answers, 'I have a second brain right above my anus, which sends rapid perfectly alternating signals to my legs.' The boy stands looking disturbed and says, 'I wish I didn't know about your anus-brain, Flash.' In the final panel the Flash gives a cheerful thumbs-up and grins: 'Remember kids, different doesn't mean worse!' Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of a man's face with the handwritten caption 'Thanks, anus-brain.'
