A party scene in purple tones. A grinning man with orange flame-like hair in a blue suit waves at a frowning blonde woman in a black dress holding champagne, calling out 'HEY BITCH!' She grits her teeth in annoyance. The caption reads: "If there is one thing i hate, it's informality," grumbled Bitchina. The joke: her name is Bitchina, and what offends her isn't the slur but the casual shortening of her name to 'Bitch.' Votey (a rough black-and-white sketch of the same scene): the man waves and instead calls out 'HEY TINA!' — implying her full name is Tina-something and even that nickname is too informal.
