5 panel comic
Panel 1: Pink guy saying: I just made a silly joke!
Panel 2: Pink guy turns to see a door swing open, revealing a Weird Greenish Guy in the doorway
Panels 3-5: Weird greenish guy begins to walk towards Pink Guy in a very creepy manner. He says: I’m Gonna take it SERIOUSLY
By panel 5 Weird Guy has Pink Guy in a death grip. He’s going to throttle him for having the audacity to tell a silly joke on social media
