Panel 1:
A grinning man with glasses, slicked-back hair, and a doctor's reflector headband holds up a large red heart-shaped Valentine. Written across the heart in handwritten letters: "HYSTERECTOMY!!" A blonde person seen from behind looks at it.
Caption (below the panel): What made this moment more awkward was that Valentine's Day wasn't for another seven months.

Two simply-drawn figures sit looking out. One is a bearded, furrowed-brow man looking irritated/unimpressed; the other rests on a surface beside him. (No dialogue.)

A grinning man with glasses and a doctor's head-mirror holds up a large red heart-shaped Valentine card. Scrawled across the heart in big letters is the word "HYSTERECTOMY!!" A blonde person, seen from behind, regards it. The caption reads: "What made this moment more awkward was that Valentine's Day wasn't for another seven months." The joke: a doctor presents a hysterectomy as if it were a romantic Valentine's gift, badly mistimed and inappropriate. Votey aftercomic: a simply-drawn panel headed "Reading this 10 years later..." shows a bearded, furrow-browed man looking unimpressed beside another seated figure, a self-deprecating nod to the comic aging poorly.
