Main comic: A single panel. A brown-haired man, seen from behind/profile, has a metal hook stuck straight through his eye. Across from him a blonde woman in a purple shirt smiles. He asks in a speech bubble, "Can I take the hook out of my eye yet?" She replies, "Nope!" In a thought bubble he grumbles, "Man she's lucky she's hot..." The joke: he tolerates an absurd painful indignity only because he finds her attractive.
Votey (aftercomic), drawn in a rougher sketch style: A caption reads "Reading this 12 years later..." An older, balding, bearded version of the man looks unimpressed and thinks, "Her body is shaped like like a mushroom...." The joke: rereading the old comic years later, the author/character now finds the woman's drawn proportions ridiculous rather than hot.
