Main comic: A woman with curly blonde hair in a red top sits at a restaurant table on a date. Across from her is a man in a blue jacket whose face is mostly covered by a large pink pig that has been grafted onto it. The woman frowns and holds up a printed photograph. The man says, 'Oh sorry, that must've been taken before I had the pig grafted onto my face.' The grafted pig itself cheerfully exclaims, 'Whee!' A caption beneath the panel reads: 'The trouble with Internet dating.' The joke is that the man looks nothing like his dating-profile photo because, since then, he has had a live pig grafted over his face.

Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of the pig-faced man's head in black-and-white line art. An off-panel voice asks, 'So, I understand you like casual encounters' — a pun riffing on the Craigslist 'Casual Encounters' personals section.
