Transcript

A man with orange hair and a woman with brown hair sit at a table on a dinner date, exchanging slips of paper. A wine glass sits on the table between them.

Man (orange hair): So, I know we were supposed to write pros AND cons, but I just couldn't think of anything bad to say about you.

Woman (brown hair, red dress): Uh, uh, me too! Can I get that back?! I think I may have made a typo!

Below the panel, a yellow slip of paper is shown. The first line is scribbled out in black; written next to it the word "NOT" is crossed out so it reads:
[NOT] too unattractive to look at during sex.

Votey:
A close-up of the woman's face looking awkward. A speech bubble (handwritten):
Woman: Also you're physically non-repulsive.

Main comic: An orange-haired man and a brown-haired woman in a red dress sit across a dinner table, a wine glass between them, exchanging written notes. The man says he was supposed to list pros and cons about her but couldn't think of anything bad to say. The flustered woman blurts, "Uh, uh, me too! Can I get that back?! I think I may have made a typo!" Below, her note is revealed: a scribbled-out first line, then "NOT" crossed out so it reads "too unattractive to look at during sex" — her supposed compliment is an accidentally brutal backhanded one. Votey: A close-up of the woman's awkward face as she adds, "Also you're physically non-repulsive."
