A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a woman with red hair sits across a restaurant table from a man in a suit. She asks, "You think you'll ever get tired of being rich?" He replies, "I have a servant whose only job is to change a single window to stunt glass at any restaurant where I'm having dinner." Panel 2: the woman asks, "But don't you think that money could be used to solve hunger?" Panel 3: a close-up of the man scowling, irritated by the question. Panel 4: the exterior of a restaurant, where a servant smashes a window with a sledgehammer, crashing through the pre-installed stunt glass. Votey (aftercomic): a hand-drawn sketch of the servant amid the broken glass saying, "Shit. Forgot my hat," while the rich man (off-panel from inside) orders, "Set up another window!" The joke: the wealthy man would rather spend money rigging restaurant windows with breakaway stunt glass for dramatic exits than address hunger, and the servant has to redo the whole setup over a forgotten hat.
