A four-panel black-and-white SMBC comic. A young man with spiky flame-like hair complains to his bespectacled grandpa that the grandpa never opens up and never gives him an answer longer than three words. The grandpa replies only in clipped one-word answers ("Hey." / "Carburetor."). When prompted, the grandpa abruptly launches into a dense, rambling monologue about old car engines (fuel injectors, air-fuel mixture, carburetor barrels wide open) that runs away from him and veers into oversharing about love and his sex life, until the young man panics and yells "Shut it down!" and the grandpa declares "It's too late! All is lost!" The joke: the silent grandpa, once opened up, cannot stop the flood of inappropriate oversharing. Votey aftercomic: a single panel where the grandpa, sitting and looking down dejectedly, asks in a large speech balloon, "Now, who wants my opinion minorities?"
