An SMBC comic. Top caption reads: 'PRO-TIP: You can make anyone feel inferior by refusing to eat something they just ate.' In the single panel, two men sit at a table. An older man with glasses, holding a half-eaten banana, interrogates a bearded younger man who holds food in his hand. The older man says, 'You eat the MIDDLE of the banana?' The younger man manages only 'I—' before the older man cuts in: 'You eat banana COBS?'—reframing the ordinary act of eating a banana as bizarre. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the skeptical older man with glasses, pressing further: 'Is it some kind of weird fetish or what?'
