Panel 1:
A woman with red hair points at a moth on the table. A bearded man in a hat stands behind her.
Woman: AAH! DON'T GO NEAR THAT MOTH!
Woman: IS IT POISONOUS?
Man: NO. IT HAS EVOLVED A COLOR PATTERN TO CONFUSE AND REPEL HUMANS.
Panel 2:
Woman: BUT IF YOU KNOW IT'S DOING THAT, WHY ARE YOU STILL SCARED OF IT?
Man: ITS COLORING PATTERN MIMICS AN AWKWARD CONVERSATION YOU'D LIKE TO AVOID.
Panel 3:
The man recoils in alarm. A speech bubble emerging from the moth reads:
Moth: I'm not racist but between you and I...
Man: RUN! RUN!
Votey:
The moth's speech bubble continues:
Moth: OH, AND HERE IS A BIRD THAT THREATENS TO MAKE YOU SILENTLY WATCH ITS FAVORITE YOUTUBE VIDEOS FOR HOURS!
(Below, a separate person's face looks mildly uncomfortable.)

A three-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A red-haired woman recoils and points at a moth on a table, shouting "Aah! Don't go near that moth! Is it poisonous?" A bearded man behind her answers, "No. It has evolved a color pattern to confuse and repel humans." Panel 2: The woman asks why he's still scared if he knows what the moth is doing; the man replies, "Its coloring pattern mimics an awkward conversation you'd like to avoid." Panel 3: The man flinches and yells "Run! Run!" as a speech bubble from the moth reads, "I'm not racist but between you and I..." The joke: the moth's defensive camouflage is the dread of an excruciating conversation. Votey: The moth's bubble continues with another threat: "Oh, and here is a bird that threatens to make you silently watch its favorite YouTube videos for hours!" beside an uncomfortable-looking face.
