A single-panel comic. A blonde woman in a green shirt sits at a table, gesturing as she lectures a man whose back is turned to the viewer.

(the rest trails off into illegible scribble). The man responds in small, glazed-over replies: "Uh huh, uh huh. Really? Wow..." A black widow spider dangles on a thread of web in the upper-right corner. A caption below reads: "It was a good ten minutes before that black widow finally struck."
