Panel 1:
A man in a tuxedo and bow tie (Todd) stands at the altar, reading from a sheet of paper he holds in his hands. He faces a bride in a yellow dress (seen only partially at the right edge).
Todd: "I WAS HOPING YOU COULD, LIKE, LOSE SOME WEIGHT..."
Caption (below panel): Todd's wedding vows were less than inspired.
Votey:
A simpler line-drawn man with wavy hair is speaking.
Man: "I vow to let constant judgment corrode our rehtionship." [text reads "rehtionship" as drawn]

Main comic: A single panel shows a man in a black tuxedo and bow tie, labeled in the caption as Todd, standing at a wedding altar and reading his vows off a sheet of paper. Beside him at the right edge is a bride in a yellow gown, seen only partially. His speech bubble reads, "I was hoping you could, like, lose some weight..." The caption below reads: "Todd's wedding vows were less than inspired." The joke is that his wedding vows are insulting rather than romantic. Votey (aftercomic): A rough black-and-white line drawing of a wavy-haired man saying, "I vow to let constant judgment corrode our rehtionship" (sic), extending the gag with another self-defeating wedding vow.
