Explanation

This comic is a promotional announcement rather than a traditional SMBC strip. It was posted on November 7, 2011, as one of several bonus comics published that day to coincide with the release of a new SMBC book collection titled "The Most Dangerous Game."

The panel features a character excitedly announcing that a new SMBC book is out and encouraging readers to click back (or press 2) to see three brand new bonus comics. The illustration shows the book'''s cover art, which depicts a humorous scene of people and animals playing badminton on a beach -- a play on the title "The Most Dangerous Game," which references the famous 1924 short story by Richard Connell about hunting humans for sport, but here is reinterpreted as a literal dangerous game (sport) being played.

The comic serves as both an advertisement for the book and a notice to readers that there is extra content available that day. The tagline "Support your Weiner!" is a reference to the comic'''s creator, Zach Weinersmith (formerly Zach Weiner), playing on his last name.
