Panel 1:
Woman with curly hair: I keep saying to people eat Christmas pudding! Why eat a ball of ancient dried fruit when there's chocolate in the world?
Panel 2:
Man (off-panel / speaking from left): Dude, there are cultural differences. Like, when in some countries they drive on the right-hand side of the road and in some it's the left-hand side.
Panel 3:
Woman: You're saying there are arbitrary norms we shouldn't make too much of?
Panel 4:
Man: I'm saying the British are wrong and everyone else is right.
Woman: Aaaaa!
Votey:
Woman (in a speech bubble): I mean they literally think every food is a type of pudding.

A four-panel comic. Panel 1: A woman with curly hair gestures and says she keeps telling people to eat Christmas pudding, asking why anyone would eat a ball of ancient dried fruit when there's chocolate in the world. Panel 2: A man off-panel responds that there are cultural differences, comparing it to how some countries drive on the right-hand side of the road and others on the left. Panel 3: The woman, intrigued, asks whether he's saying there are arbitrary norms we shouldn't make too much of. Panel 4: Shown as a silhouette, the man flatly replies that he's saying the British are wrong and everyone else is right; the woman screams 'Aaaaa!' The joke: what sounded like cultural relativism collapses into blunt judgment. Votey: The woman adds in a speech bubble that the British literally think every food is a type of pudding, while a man's drawn face below looks pained and distressed.
