A five-panel SMBC comic mocking NFTs. Panel 1: a masked robber thrusts a smartphone at a frightened man and demands, 'GIMME A NON-FUNGIBLE TOKEN OF THE CONTENTS OF YOUR WALLET!' Panel 2: the man offers a fistful of cash, asking 'WOULD YOU ALSO LIKE ALL THESE DOLLARS?'; the robber recoils, snapping 'YOU THINK I WANT YOUR WORTHLESS FIAT MONEY?!' Panel 3: the robber, now pointing a gun, notices the man's wristwatch and says 'SAY, THAT'S A NICE LOOKIN' WATCH.' Panel 4: holding up the phone again, the robber demands 'GIMME A STRING OF CHARACTERS REPRESENTING THAT I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO OWNS THE STRING OF CHARACTERS PERTAINING TO YOUR WATCH!' Panel 5: a banner reads 'ONE DAY, IN THE FUTURE...' and a bespectacled woman explains that NFTs were controversial at first, but the rate of 'crime-about-which-you-should-give-a-shit' went to zero almost immediately, since NFT theft transfers nothing of real value. Votey aftercomic: a small caption in a hand-drawn frame reads '(THE NFT FOR THE NFT OF THE NFT OF THIS COMIC WILL BE AUCTIONED OFF SOON, ALONG WITH THE NFT FOR THE AUCTION),' a recursive jab at NFT auctioning.
