A full-color comic panel set in a dim restaurant. A red-haired man in a green shirt stands at a table and gestures toward a brown-haired woman in a green top who is seated to his left, while a blonde woman is shown from behind in the foreground. He says, "Oh hi Susan! This is a bit awkward... meet my ex-girlfriend, Elaine." A caption below reads: "In restrospect, it would have been courteous to inform Elaine of our break-up prior to the date with Susan." The joke: he is on a date with Susan but apparently never actually told Elaine they had broken up. Votey (aftercomic): a crude black-and-white sketch of a man's face looking sideways, with a speech bubble reading "I think me should see other people" — his garbled, broken phrasing implying the break-up message that never landed.
