A five-panel SMBC comic. Panels 1-3: a woman with dark hair and a man with flame-like hair talk. She asks if it's ok to travel back in time to kill baby Hitler; he says 'Obviously.' She then asks if it's therefore ok to kill baby Hitler, return to the present, go back to a time one ten-millionth of a second earlier, and take a second crack at it; he hesitantly says 'Uh...' She continues, 'And then a third, fourth, fifth, sixth—' and he asks 'Where is this going?' Panel 4, labeled 'LATER...', shows two men walking through a grassy field. Panel 5 shows a billboard reading 'OLYMPIC SKEET SHOOTING 2037! Featuring New Event Technically Acceptable to Utilitarian Consequentialists,' implying the new event is repeatedly shooting baby Hitler ('skeet shooting Hitler' = 'skeetler'). Votey: a close-up of a worried man's face as an off-panel voice shouts 'FIRE THE SKEETLER!'
