Panel 1:
Woman (blonde, in white): Hey Wolverine, question.
Wolverine: ?
Panel 2:
Woman: If I slice you in half top to bottom, do both halves regenerate or what?
Panel 3:
Wolverine: Hmm. What an odd notion. Fortunately it's never come up.
Panel 4 (captioned "LATER"):
[Two Wolverines stand together]
Wolverine (left): They're attempting to catch on. Keep multiplying, the regeneration will begin soon, brothers.
Votey:
If you cut horizontal you get one all-top Wolverine and one all-bottom. They live in the basement now, and the other Wolverines try to forget.

A four-panel SMBC comic. A blonde woman in white asks Wolverine (clawed X-Men character with pointed yellow mask) a question: if she slices him in half top-to-bottom, do both halves regenerate? He muses, "What an odd notion. Fortunately it's never come up." In the final panel, captioned LATER, two identical Wolverines stand side by side, one saying, "They're attempting to catch on. Keep multiplying, the regeneration will begin soon, brothers" — revealing he has secretly been splitting and multiplying all along. Votey (aftercomic): a hand-lettered text panel reads, "If you cut horizontal you get one all-top Wolverine and one all-bottom. They live in the basement now, and the other Wolverines try to forget."
