A two-panel-style SMBC comic. In the main panel, an excited red-haired man gestures toward a dark-curly-haired man sitting on a couch holding a video game controller. The red-haired man says, "You know how you sit on the couch, eating snacks, using a controller to run around a fantasy world?" The seated man answers, "Yes." The red-haired man eagerly continues, "What if it was the same thing, but you had to stand?" The caption beneath reads: "I will never understand the idea of a metaverse." In the votey aftercomic, a close-up of the smiling red-haired man, who exclaims, "Imagine receiving a negative performance assessment from your boss IN NARNIA!" The joke mocks the metaverse as repackaging ordinary (often unpleasant) experiences with extra inconvenience.
