A comic titled "SMBC PRESENTS: BUILDING A STRONG MARRIAGE, EPISODE ONE: 'HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY.'" A man in a chef's hat and apron grills steak at a backyard barbecue, smiling. A brown-haired woman sits at a table eating. She asks, "How's the steak?" Then she answers her own evaluation: "It's delicious, though you've never satisfied me sexually." The joke is that radical marital honesty curdles a pleasant compliment into a brutal insult. Votey aftercomic: a black-and-white close-up of the woman, looking flatly annoyed, adding a single word: "Fatass."
