A three-panel SMBC comic titled 'PROBLEM: MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN ARE TREATED AS IF THEY'RE INVISIBLE,' framing the same issue three ways. The OPTIMIST, a woman with wavy hair, throws her arms up and says, 'We can change the world so it takes notice of us!' The PESSIMIST, looking glum, says, 'We can't change the world if it can't see us.' The OPPORTUNIST gleefully turns to an older woman and says, 'Grrrma, I mean... Grandma, would you get all those bars of gold? I just walk into the bank and nobody sees me! AAAAAHAHAHA!' — reframing invisibility as a tool for crime. The votey is a close-up of a wild-eyed, manic grinning face saying, 'You want some nuclear codes? I got shitloads!' — escalating the heist gag to absurd, unstoppable invisible-criminal heights.
