A single-panel comic showing three people seated around a dinner table. A man in a yellow shirt (called Ted) gushes, "Ted, my god, you tell the best stories, and this homemade sorbet is to die for!" A woman in the middle starts to respond, "Well thanks, I-" but a man with orange hair, an eye patch, and a red-and-yellow shirt cuts in: "Hey! You know what's better than both of those?" then declares, "NOT BEING BLIND!" A caption beneath reads: "The great thing about being handicapped is the ability to create five minutes of awkward silence any time you like." The joke is the blind man weaponizing his disability to derail the dinner conversation into awkward silence. Votey (aftercomic): a hand-drawn close-up of the eye-patched man's smiling face adding, "Great dip, though."
