Main comic: A single wide panel shows a bleak, empty landscape — a yellow sun low in a purple sky above dark barren hills, with a lone human skull resting on the pale ground, casting a small shadow. The caption beneath reads: “You know honey, I really don't feel like getting pizza again tonight.” The joke is the bleak emptiness paired with a mundane, domestic complaint, implying the apocalyptic aftermath of some catastrophe.

Votey: A handwritten caption at the top reads “Reading this 11 years later...” Below, a bearded man with long hair sits looking at a laptop screen, with a speech bubble saying “I don't get it” — the cartoonist self-deprecatingly admitting the original joke no longer lands.
