Original: clown-world on Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
Transcript
This comic is almost entirely wordless; the only written text is a sound effect.
Panel 1: A clown with bright pink hair, a white face, and a red nose holds out a bulb horn toward another white-faced clown (seen mostly from behind/in profile).
Panel 2: The pink-haired clown squeezes the bulb horn.
Sound effect: HONK! HONK!
Panel 3: A clown with teal/green hair, a white face, red nose, and a striped collar looks on with a flat, unimpressed expression. The pink-haired clown's red nose is visible at the edge of the panel.
Panel 4: The pink-haired clown and the green-haired clown face each other. A squirt-flower sprays a stream of water between them.
Panel 5: A close-up of a clown squirt-flower being held, spraying water.
Final wide panel: The pink-haired clown and the green-haired clown stand side by side, each cradling a baby clown (white face, red nose). They have become a couple and started a family.
Votey:
A simple face drawn on a black background, assembled out of clown elements. The two eyebrows/eyes are formed from the words "HONK HONK" written in hand-lettered caps; below are short eyebrow-strokes, a small nose, and a curved smiling mouth.

A nearly wordless SMBC comic about clown courtship. Panel 1: a pink-haired, white-faced clown with a red nose offers a bulb horn to another white-faced clown. Panel 2: the pink-haired clown squeezes the horn -- HONK! HONK! Panel 3: a teal-haired clown with a striped collar watches with a deadpan, unimpressed face. Panel 4: the two clowns face each other and a squirt-flower sprays water between them. Panel 5: a close-up of the squirt-flower spraying. Final wide panel: the pink-haired clown and the teal-haired clown stand together, each cradling a tiny baby clown with a white face and red nose. The joke is that classic annoying clown gags -- honking horns and squirt-flowers -- are this clown's flirting/courtship rituals, and they work, leading to romance and a family. Votey: a smiling face drawn on a black background where the two eyes are made from the hand-lettered words "HONK HONK," with a small nose and a curved mouth below.
