Panel 1
A man (named Ted, per the caption) sits beside a blonde woman. The woman speaks:
Woman: "And so now I'm just really sensitive about my appearance. I take everything personally, you know?"
Ted: "Hey, that's okay. I hear a lot of fat chicks feel that way..."

Caption (below the panel):
"Not that that applies to you, of course," Ted noted quickly, "but I don't have much advice for unattractive girls with... just... really awful hair. I mean wow. Maybe conditioner? Something."

Votey:
A close-up of the blonde woman looking down, displeased, with a speech bubble:
Woman: "Your hair is so fake, it looks like a webcartoonist drew it."

Main comic: A brown-haired man (called Ted in the caption) sits next to a blonde woman, his hand on her shoulder. She says she's become really sensitive about her appearance and takes everything personally. Ted reassures her: "Hey, that's okay. I hear a lot of fat chicks feel that way..." A caption below shows him digging the hole deeper: he clarifies it doesn't apply to her, of course, but he has no advice for "unattractive girls" with "really awful hair," suggesting maybe conditioner. Votey (aftercomic): A close-up of the unimpressed blonde woman delivering the comeback: "Your hair is so fake, it looks like a webcartoonist drew it" — a meta jab at the comic's own crude drawing of her hair.
