A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A smiling red-haired man asks, "What's on the everything bagel?" Panel 2: A bespectacled vendor with a mustache, holding a mushroom, replies, "Everything. Literally everything. Otherwise it'd be false advertising." Panel 3: The vendor continues, "There are even tiny everything bagels because by definition everything bagel contains everything, including itself." A close-up shows the man staring wide-eyed at an everything bagel that contains a smaller everything bagel inside it (a fractal self-containing bagel). Panel 4: The man, looking deadpan at the vendor, asks, "Why, what're other places selling?" Votey (aftercomic): The vendor's speech bubble reads, "Try the Mandelbrotwurst!" (a pun on Mandelbrot fractals and bratwurst), with a small cartoon sausage face drawn beneath.
