A webcomic shown entirely against a pitch-black background, so only the white speech balloons are visible — the darkness is the joke's visual punchline. One person asks, "Can't we put the lights on?" A second voice replies, "I'm sorry... it's my first time, and I'd really be a lot more comfortable... not seeing... EVERYTHING." The first person relents: "Okay, okay..." A caption beneath reads, "Who am I to argue? He's the surgeon." — revealing that the nervous person insisting on darkness is the doctor about to operate. Votey (aftercomic): the same black scene with one speech balloon reading, "Eww! It's all moist!"
