Panel 1:
A woman with blonde hair (seen from behind) speaks to a man with orange/red hair wearing a collared shirt and tie. They appear to be on a date or sitting across from each other.
Woman: YOU THINK I'M UGLY, DON'T YOU?
Man (smiling, gesturing with open hand): NO... NO. I... IN FACT I THINK IT'S BENEFICIAL TO SEE ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT FACES. FOR INSTANCE, NOW I NO LONGER FEAR DEATH.
Votey:
A crude sketch of a distorted, lopsided face.
Caption (speech): Oh neat! Cataracts!

A two-panel SMBC comic. Main panel: a blonde woman, seen from behind, sits across from a smiling orange-haired man in a shirt and tie. She asks, 'You think I'm ugly, don't you?' He reassures her with an open-handed gesture: 'No... no. I... in fact I think it's beneficial to see all sorts of different faces. For instance, now I no longer fear death.' His supposed compliment is actually an insult implying her face makes death seem welcome. Votey (aftercomic): a crude, melting, lopsided hand-drawn face with the cheerful caption 'Oh neat! Cataracts!' — suggesting his blurred, clouded vision is what makes faces tolerable.
