A comic panel: a woman with reddish-brown hair stands beside a cheerful man whose shirt bears a label reading "S." She gestures toward a menacing dark silhouette of a figure across from them, whose chest bears a label reading "AS." She says, "Hey Anti-Steve, I want you to meet my new boyfriend - Steve." A caption below reads, "Part of me wondered if she was just doing this to irritate me." The joke plays on matter meeting antimatter: introducing "Steve" to "Anti-Steve" implies they would annihilate. Votey (aftercomic): a worried-looking woman pleads, "Don't fight! You'll turn into gamma rays!" — referencing the gamma radiation released when matter and antimatter annihilate.
