A single-panel comic set in a school hallway lined with blue lockers. A smiling blonde girl hands a card to a brown-haired boy wearing glasses, saying 'Happy September 26th!' The boy reacts with excitement: 'Oh my God! Sheila Mathers! But you're the head cheerleader! I didn't even think you knew my name! That's so - oh... right.' His enthusiasm collapses as he realizes the catch. A caption below reads: 'Sighing, Marty placed yet another card in his Hatred Day box.' The joke: the cheerleader isn't being romantic or kind; the card commemorates a 'Hatred Day,' and Marty has collected many such cards. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of Marty's face, eyes downcast and bitter, declaring, 'I'll show you by becoming successful, yet emotionally withdrawn!'
