A nine-panel SMBC comic. A caption reads 'APRIL 14, 1912.' Panel 1: the Titanic sails calmly between two icebergs at night. Panel 2: a mustachioed man in a suit throws up his arms shouting 'We're going to sink! Quick! Women and children off the boat first!' Panel 3: silhouetted people row away in a lifeboat. Panel 4: the same man grins and asks 'Okay, are the girls and kids gone?' Panel 5: against a celebratory yellow background with music notes, he cheers 'Gone! Break out the bourbon!' Panel 6: a crowd of men party with arms raised. Panel 7: a red-haired man holding a green bottle points and says 'Dudes! There's an iceberg in our path!' Panel 8: the men cheer wildly, chanting 'Ram the berg! Ram the berg! Ram the berg!' The joke: the men evacuate the women and children only so they can party recklessly and deliberately steer into the iceberg. Final panel: a rolled-up newspaper with the headline 'TITANIC SINKS' and 'FEW SURVIVORS.' Votey aftercomic: a hand-lettered box reads 'TOO SOON.?', a wry aside about the morbidity of the joke.
