A four-panel SMBC comic. A green woman with wild, flame- or leaf-like hair, representing Mother Nature, appears to a man. She announces she is real and is 'the protector of all things natural and beautiful.' The man begins to say 'I'm so honored to-' but then notices and points out that someone is pouring poison into the city's water supply. Mother Nature, caught, responds defensively: 'You know what, human? You know what?' Votey (bonus panel): Mother Nature says 'Thirsty?' while leaning menacingly toward the man, who sits frozen with a horrified open-mouthed expression. The joke: Mother Nature claims to protect nature but is herself poisoning the water, and turns hostile when called out.
