A four-panel SMBC comic, two by two, with characters on a green background. Panel 1: a red-haired man asks a bespectacled woman, "Are you a dualist? Do you believe mind and body have a fundamentally different nature?" She replies, "Nah." Panel 2: the woman says, "I'm a hyperdualist. I believe as long as we're introducing needless distinctions, why stop at two?" Panel 3: gesturing at her chest with both hands, she says, "I've got mind, body, soul, essence, self, plus my tits are so big each gets its own ontological category." Panel 4: the man says flatly, "You could've just said no," and the woman, raising one finger, replies, "Are you talking to me or my mysterious and ineffable left boob?" Votey (aftercomic): a simple black-and-white line drawing of a bare torso with breasts; an off-panel voice says, "Watch, I can make it say cogito ergo boob."
