A cartoon man and woman sit side by side in a waiting room outside a door labeled "DR. STERN, DDS. MARRIAGE COUNSELOR." The woman, with curly red-orange hair, holds a book and looks down dejectedly; the man, in a green shirt, gestures at her and says, "I really don't see why we need this. I told you I'd pay for a facelift!" The joke: he thinks their marriage problem is her appearance, not his attitude. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the man's face as he muses, "Why is the counselor a dentist?" - belatedly noticing the marriage counselor's odd "DDS" dentist credential.
