A four-panel comic. A woman talks with a man who has red, flame-like hair. Panel 1: She asks, 'Wanna get a burger?' He replies, 'What, so hungry people can watch and be jealous?' Panel 2: She asks what he's doing; he explains he's trying out a new thing where whenever someone expresses a thought, he replies by assuming the least charitable interpretation. Panel 3: Grinning and gesturing, he says this gives him a feeling of moral superiority while leaving his targets too stunned to engage cogently. Panel 4: She begs, 'Please, please don't bring internet into real life,' and he immediately twists it: 'Oh so your life is more REAL than other peoples'? Wow.' Votey aftercomic: a single caption reading, '(I'm secretly hoping to get an email with the least charitable interpretation of this comic).'
