A single-panel comic. A man kneeling on one knee holds out an open ring box toward a smiling blonde woman. He starts to say, "WILL YOU -" but before he can finish, she throws up her hands and cuts him off: "YES TOM, OF COURSE!" The caption below reads: The "shut your trap" ring was going over remarkably well. The joke: the ring is literally designed to silence her, and it's working because she answered before he could finish proposing.

Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of the gold ring, which is molded into the shape of a pair of pursed, closed lips. Engraved in small letters on the band is the text "NOBODY CARES".
