A two-panel SMBC comic. The main panel has a yellow title banner reading "SMBC PRESENTS: 'Pick-up lines that don't work.'" Below it, a grinning red-haired man in a green polo shirt holds out a bouquet of flowers toward a woman whose hair and shoulder are just visible at the edge of the frame. He says, "My wife got me these!" The votey (a rough black-and-white sketch) shows the same man still holding up the bouquet and beaming as he adds, "May she rest in peace." The joke: he's hitting on a new woman with flowers from his dead wife, cheerfully revealing she's deceased.
