Single-panel comic at a dinner table. A blonde woman wearing a peace-sign necklace throws up both hands in outrage and shouts, "ENJOYING YOUR MEAT? MURDERER!" Across the table, a calm-looking man holds up a fork with a piece of red meat on it and thinks, "OH GEEZ..." A plate of greens sits in front of the woman. The caption beneath reads: "Can't we have just one dinner date where she doesn't mention the time I shot her mom?" The joke flips her vegetarian accusation about eating meat into the man's literal memory of having shot and killed her mother.

Votey: A loosely sketched line-drawing of the man's face as he says, "Guns don't kill people. Blood loss kills people."
