A single-panel comic. In the foreground, the back of an orange-haired woman faces a brown-haired man in a red shirt and purple shorts, who stands in a room with a framed picture on the wall. The woman shouts, "You killed my cat! What kind of boyfriend are you!?" The man, throwing up both hands defensively, retorts, "Hey! Hey! I'm not a mindreader okay?! I don't just magically know if you want your cat to remain alive! Geez!" The joke is his absurd, indignant defense for an obviously inexcusable act. Votey (aftercomic): a black-and-white close-up of the man's tired, exasperated face as he mutters a single word in a small bubble: "Women."
