A three-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a red-haired man in a red shirt stands in a packed crowd, face contorted in horror, screaming: "Oh my God! My God! It's just people talking about how many shots they had, asking about astrology, and saying 'hey' a lot! Forever and ever and ever!" Panel 2: he lets out a long wordless scream, "NOOOOOOOO," the dark crowd around him. A caption reads "EARLIER." Panel 3: the same man stands calmly addressing a monkey's paw (a curled, withered hand). He says: "Monkey's paw... I wish bar music wasn't so loud." The joke: his wish to quiet the bar music was granted by the monkey's paw, but the cursed cost is now hearing every shallow, repetitive bar conversation clearly forever. Votey aftercomic: a close-up of two faces leaning together; one says, "I too am just here for sex, but had wanted to pretend otherwise."
