A two-panel-style SMBC comic. Main panel: a young boy with cupped hands shouts "WOLF! WOLLF!" while a bearded older man scolds him: "YOU KEEP YELLING LIKE THAT, AND ONE DAY NOBODY WILL BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU HAVE REAL TROUBLE!" This sets up the classic 'boy who cried wolf' moral. The caption underneath subverts it: "Fortunately, wolves were later hunted to extinction throughout the British Isles." The joke is that the boy never faces consequences because the predators were simply wiped out. Votey (small bonus drawing): a loose sketchy face surrounded by the scrawled, increasingly desperate hand-lettered cry "WOLF! WOLLLLF!!!"
