A man with brown hair sits at a small round table across from a blonde-haired woman (seen from behind) in a dim dining room with framed pictures and a clock on the wall. He leans toward her and asks, "Susan, right?" A caption below reads: "The silver anniversary got off to a rocky start." The joke: he can't remember his spouse's name at their 25th wedding anniversary. Votey (aftercomic): a black-and-white close-up of the blonde woman's deadpan face as she replies, "It's Bob" — revealing her name isn't Susan, and isn't even a typically feminine name, making his memory failure even worse.
