Title banner: SMBC PRESENTS "Perspectives..."
The comic is split into two columns with header labels.
Left column header: WHAT WAS SAID...
Right column header: WHAT WAS THOUGHT...
Left panel ("What was said"):
A man with brown hair and a green shirt speaks to a woman with blonde hair (seen from behind).
Man: "I think we should consider putting my mother in a home."
Woman: "You know, maybe it IS about time..."
Right panel ("What was thought"):
The same two people stand facing each other. The blonde woman has a thought bubble showing a building labeled "NURSING HOME." The brown-haired man has a thought bubble showing a red building labeled "FUNERAL HOME."
Votey:
A loose sketch of a man's face in profile, looking pleased/content, with a thought bubble above him containing a pair of musical notes (whistling or humming a happy tune).

A two-column SMBC comic titled "Perspectives." The left column is headed "WHAT WAS SAID" and the right "WHAT WAS THOUGHT." On the left, a brown-haired man in a green shirt tells a blonde woman, "I think we should consider putting my mother in a home," and she replies, "You know, maybe it IS about time..." On the right, the same conversation is shown with thought bubbles: the woman pictures a building labeled "NURSING HOME," while the man pictures a red building labeled "FUNERAL HOME" -- revealing he means something far darker than she assumes. Votey: a rough sketch of a man's face in profile looking content, with a thought bubble of musical notes, as if cheerfully whistling.
