A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A bald, muscular man with a soul patch says to a thinner man with glasses and orange hair, "You're a beta male, bro." Panel 2: The bespectacled man replies, "No I'm... wait did you say beta like secondary or betta like the tropical fish?" Panel 3: The bald man stares silently with a scowl, sweating slightly, while the other man waits. Panel 4: The bald man, softening, says "I think you are beautiful, yet dangerous," and the bespectacled man answers "Kiss me." The two are shown as silhouettes leaning toward each other, the insult having flipped into mutual attraction. Votey: A close-up profile of a face whose interior is filled with scribbled handwriting reading "BLOOP BLOOP BLOOP BLOOP BABY."
