A four-panel SMBC comic. A caption above reads: "It became impossible for me to attend solemn ceremonies once I realized 'tolerance' sounds like 'taller ants.'" Panel 1: a man at a podium before a grand building tells a crowd, "Welcome to the museum of taller ants." Panel 2: a woman shouts into a megaphone, "We must have love, respect, and taller ants!" Panel 3: a protest sign reads, "Peace! Peace begins with 'taller ants.'" Panel 4: a solemn portrait of a woman with eyes closed (drawn like Helen Keller) with the quote "The highest result of education is taller ants. -Helen Keller." The joke replaces 'tolerance' with the homophone 'taller ants' in earnest, ceremonial slogans. Votey: two absurdly tall, skinny ants stand together, one declaring via speech bubble, "We make the world better!"
