Ex

A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a woman lounges on a couch holding her phone, saying "Oof. I'm having a rough one." Panel 2: a close-up of her looking at the phone: "Let's see how my ex who never accomplishes anything is doing." Panel 3: the view shifts to a disheveled, bearded man peering out from behind the screen, pleading: "Charlotte, are you there? The camera light is on. Please let me out! Let me out!" -- implying her ex is literally trapped inside the device. Panel 4: the woman smiles faintly at her phone, unbothered: "Heh. Is it okay that I'm feeling schadenfreude?" A promo banner below advertises the "Parenting - An SMBC Collection" and "Sawyer Lee and the Quest to Just Stay Home" Kickstarter, final week. Votey aftercomic: a close-up of the smiling woman with the caption "Nothing helps a case of the Mondays like making it rub the lotion on its skin" -- a Silence of the Lambs reference cementing that she is gleefully tormenting her captive ex.
