A cheerful brown-haired man stands in a cartoon kitchen holding up a chain necklace toward a red-haired woman seen from behind. He says "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!" The necklace pendant reads "MINE FOREVER." The caption beneath, written like a melodramatic story, reads: "Steve walked past Rhonda, and placed the necklace over the blender. Now the bitch knew where she stood." The joke: the romantic gesture is being narrated as if directed at a kitchen appliance (the blender), reframing the loving moment as a petty, possessive power play. Votey (aftercomic): a rough black-and-white sketch close-up of a woman's confused face saying "DO I KNOW YOU?"
