A four-panel-feel single-panel SMBC comic. Two cowboys play poker at night in a saloon, desert and cactuses through the window. A cowboy in a brown hat and orange suspendered shirt holds his cards and says, "Full house, Big Tex." The other man, Big Tex, in a black hat and bandolier, accuses him: "Yer cheatin'!" The first cowboy replies, "You can search me iffin' you want, but you'll still hafta pay yer due." The caption reads: "'Why didn't you wear a dang undershirt?' Big Tex muttered to himself as he nervously fumbled for his top button" -- implying he's attracted to the cheater and dreading taking his shirt off in front of him. Votey: a sketchy drawing of the cowboy's face is doodled on someone's bare skin with the handwritten note "I love you, Big Tex," confirming the secret crush.
