A six-panel SMBC comic. Two men talk: a man with dark hair in a red shirt and a man with brown hair in a teal jacket who sips a drink. The red-shirt man says he likes 'that sort of stuff,' which the teal man clarifies means 'gardening implements between the prices of about 20 to 60 dollars, prefer wooden handles.' Asked what he's doing, the teal man says he's 'keywording your statements for search engine purposes,' explaining he gets a dollar per keyword while the other gets more targeted, relevant advertising, so 'everyone wins.' In the final panel the two men appear as silhouettes against a black background; the red-shirt man says 'And yet the world is worse,' and the teal man immediately keywords it: 'Potential interest in books on coping with malaise and/or disaffection.' Votey: a close-up of a smiling man's face, with an off-panel caption reading 'Throw in anger management, please.'
