A five-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A bearded man named Steve stands at a podium ranting, "See, the vaccines are just chemtrails from planes, but directly... right into our veins by Bill-Gates brain-controlling nano... nano... huh." He trails off mid-conspiracy. Panel 2: Two worried audience members say "What is it?" and "You okay, Steve?" Panel 3: Steve, now looking troubled and lucid, says, "I just suddenly... I... you ever wonder if maybe the entire world isn't oriented around us in particular?" Panel 4: The audience stares, deeply unsettled by this sudden moment of perspective and humility. Panel 5: A red-haired man literally throws Steve out the door of the building, shouting "And stay out!" The joke: a conspiracy crowd tolerates wild claims but expels someone the instant he expresses genuine cosmic humility. Votey (aftercomic): Steve lies dejected on the ground saying, "I'm gonna join the lizard-people."
