Panel 1:
A man with brown hair in a green shirt sits at a dinner table across from a woman with long orange hair in a pink shirt. He gestures with an open hand as he speaks.
Man: LISTEN, IT'S NOT ANYTHING ANYONE DID. I THINK WE'VE BOTH JUST CHANGED A LOT, YOU KNOW? FOR EXAMPLE, I NOW HATE YOU.
Votey:
A loose sketch of the same man's face, smiling slightly.
Man: Because you're unlovable!

A man with brown hair in a green shirt sits across a dinner table from a woman with long orange hair in a pink shirt. Gesturing earnestly with an open hand, he delivers a gentle breakup speech: "Listen, it's not anything anyone did. I think we've both just changed a lot, you know? For example, I now hate you." In the votey aftercomic, a rough sketch of the man's smiling face adds the cheerful clarification: "Because you're unlovable!" The joke is the sincere, soothing breakup tone wrapped around a brutally cruel message.
