Title banner: SMBC VALENTINES!

The comic is a collection of valentine heart cards, each bearing a message:

Red heart: WHY?!

Dark pink heart: I WISH YOU WOULD LOVE ME IN THE WAY THAT SOME OTHER PERSON I'VE NEVER MET MIGHT POTENTIALLY LOVE ME.

Small red heart: KISS ME! OH GOD, WAIT! NOT YOU. GIVE IT BACK. NOW.

Dark red half-heart (torn/ragged edge): I FIGURED THIS WOULD BE MORE FAMILIAR FOR YOU.

Light pink heart: I LOVE YOU! PS: I NEED THIS BACK IN AN HOUR.

Votey:
Two people stand close together.
Person on left (with glasses): HERE'S AN SMBC VALENTINE
Person on right: OMIGOD! MY CLOTHES FLEW OFF!

A title banner reads "SMBC VALENTINES!" Below it is a scattered collection of valentine candy-heart cards, each with a darkly comic message instead of a sweet one. A red heart says "WHY?!" A dark pink heart says "I wish you would love me in the way that some other person I've never met might potentially love me." A small red heart says "Kiss me! Oh god, wait! Not you. Give it back. Now." A dark red heart with a torn, ragged edge says "I figured this would be more familiar for you." A light pink heart says "I love you! PS: I need this back in an hour." Votey: a two-person scene drawn in simple black-and-white line art. A person wearing glasses holds out a small heart and says "Here's an SMBC valentine." The other person, eyes shut and beaming, exclaims "Omigod! My clothes flew off!" — the gag being that the valentine is so devastatingly charming it literally strips the recipient.
