A two-panel SMBC comic under a yellow banner reading "SMBC PRESENTS: MARRIAGE TIPS! EPISODE ONE: 'STAYING POSITIVE'." The left panel is labeled "WRONG WAY" in red: a frowning woman with crossed arms tells a man, "I hope you die." The right panel is labeled "RIGHT WAY" in green: the same woman, now beaming and giving two thumbs up, says the identical words but with an exclamation point: "I hope you die!" The joke is that the only difference between the wrong and right way is enthusiastic, positive delivery of the exact same hostile sentiment. Votey: a roughly sketched, cheerful smiling face says, "I'll be there for you!"
