A two-panel SMBC comic about an alternate history. Panel 1: a curly orange-haired man sits in a red car at a fast-food drive-thru and says, "Hi, could I get a six-piece chicken McNuggets?" The drive-thru speaker, shown as a jagged lightning-bolt voice line, replies, "Do you mean chicken FITZnuggets? What the hell is a McNugget?" Panel 2 is labeled "EARLIER" and shows a dark-haired woman in round glasses and a red sweater musing, "You ever wonder what the world would be like if the Anglo-Normans had conquered Scotland and Ireland?" The joke: in this timeline the Norman 'Fitz-' prefix replaced the Gaelic 'Mc-/Mac-' naming convention, so even McNuggets are 'FitzNuggets.' Votey (aftercomic): a single panel of an empty drive-thru window where the unseen speaker adds, "Would you like to add a chicken FitzCrispy or a FitzCafe, you filthy Celtic peasant?"
