A two-panel SMBC comic. Top panel: a man with flame-like orange hair and a woman with curly brown hair (in a red top) talk against a dark background. He asks, "Why that, though?" She replies, "Nobody would accidentally say it." Bottom panel, captioned "MOMENTS AGO...": the same man sits on a bed bound in rope while the woman kneels beside him. He asks, "What's the safe word?" and she answers, "'I watch Star Wars for the dialog.'" The joke: she picked a safe word so absurd no one could ever blurt it out by accident. The votey (aftercomic) shows a simply drawn person resting their chin on their hand, gazing thoughtfully, saying, "It's good from a certain point of view." — a play on the Star Wars line and the idea that someone might genuinely defend the dialog.
