Main comic:

A close-up of two people facing each other: a blonde woman on the left and a brown-haired man on the right. A series of speech bubbles rises between them.

Bubble 1: "YOU'RE THE CUTEST!"
Bubble 2: "NO YOU ARE!"
Bubble 3: "YOU ARE!"
Bubble 4: "NO YOU!"
Bubble 5: "NO YOU"
Bubble 6 (trailing off, small): "NO YOU"

Caption below the panel: "The following day we conducted a formal double-blind study."

Caption: "Turns out we were both wrong."

Votey:

A simple line-drawn face with a flat, unimpressed expression. A speech bubble above reads: "YOU'RE ONLY 0.4 MICRO-KITTIES."

A close-up cartoon of a blonde woman and a brown-haired man facing each other, with a rising stack of speech bubbles between them: "You're the cutest!" / "No you are!" / "You are!" / "No you!" / "No you" / "No you," the affectionate argument trailing off. The caption reads: "The following day we conducted a formal double-blind study. Turns out we were both wrong." Votey: a flat, unimpressed line-drawn face delivers the verdict in a speech bubble: "You're only 0.4 micro-kitties" — measuring cuteness on a scientific scale where being a fraction of a kitty is a low score.
