A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: A woman at a desk tells a red-haired, red-bearded man, "I can reveal it to you now. You have a long lost twin, separated at birth." Panel 2: The man excitedly says, "What?! Oh my god he looks exactly like me! It's like a perfect mirror!" The woman offers, "I can arrange a meeting." Panel 3: The man waves it off, saying "No, no. I can do it myself," gesturing toward a silhouette. A caption reads "SOON..." Panel 4: The man, now wearing a cape, has dressed up as his own twin and confronts the identical-looking man, declaring, "Rodney! I am you from the future! Give me all your money and the world will be saved!" The joke: instead of meeting his long-lost twin, he impersonates a time traveler to scam him. Votey: A worried-looking Rodney listens as the scammer adds, "I will come again every tax day to update you on how the future is doing" — setting up a recurring grift.
