Panel 1: A bald man, smiling tensely, listens to a dark-haired man. Bald man's thought bubble: "Don't say anything weird. You know weird stuff and that's okay. Just listen while he talks."
Panel 2: The two men face each other in profile. Bald man's thought bubble (now just dots/scribbles, then): "Don't say anything weird. Don't say anything weird. Don't say anything weird."
Panel 3: The dark-haired man speaks. Dark-haired man: "...and what kind of music do you li-"
Panel 4: Close-up of the bald man's blank face. His thought bubble (small silhouette figures): "There's no legal reason I can't artificially make bones with your genes and build a house out of them."
Panel 5: The dark-haired man, looking concerned. Bald man (speaking): "The technology isn't there yet, but in principle-"
Panel 6: Over the bald man's shoulder. Dark-haired man: "Is this leading to a weird sex thing because I can roll with it."
Votey: Extreme close-up of the bald man's startled face, eyebrows raised. Speech bubble above: "It is now, yeah."

A six-panel SMBC comic. A bald man is having a conversation with a dark-haired man and silently coaches himself in thought bubbles: "Don't say anything weird. You know weird stuff and that's okay. Just listen while he talks," repeating "Don't say anything weird" over and over. The dark-haired man casually asks, "...and what kind of music do you li-" but the bald man's mind has drifted to a disturbing thought: "There's no legal reason I can't artificially make bones with your genes and build a house out of them." The bald man blurts, "The technology isn't there yet, but in principle-" The dark-haired man, unfazed, replies, "Is this leading to a weird sex thing because I can roll with it." Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the bald man's surprised face as he answers, "It is now, yeah." The joke: his attempt to avoid being weird collapses, and his companion eagerly reframes the macabre bone-house plan as a sexual proposition the bald man rolls with.
