A four-panel SMBC comic. A man with round glasses and a yellow turtleneck talks earnestly to a red-haired man in a suit. He says he believes in the "strong butterfly effect": the weak version is that, through chaos theory, a butterfly's wing flap can be said to cause a hurricane, but he claims ALL hurricanes everywhere are the direct consequence of butterflies. The red-haired man asks how come hurricanes have gotten worse as butterfly habitats have been eradicated. The glasses man, now wide-eyed and gritting his teeth, declares: "They are angry! Angry!"

Votey: A black-and-white panel shows a butterfly with an angry scowling face commanding a swarm of butterflies. A speech bubble points off-panel reading "Take him out," as the butterflies move to attack.
