An SMBC comic titled "DATING TIPS." In a school hallway lined with lockers, a black-haired boy in a green shirt asks a brown-haired girl in glasses and a pink shirt, who is wearing leg braces, "Sandy, will you go to the prom with me?" She replies, "Me? Really? Of course I will!" The caption reads: "Dating Tip #1: If you take a girl with polio to the prom, you leave with a cheerleader who thinks you're sensitive!" Votey aftercomic: header reads "Reading this 11 years later..." A puzzled bearded man says, "But who has polio anymore?" -- noting the joke's premise has dated badly since polio is now nearly eradicated.
