Panel 1 (single panel):
A man with blond hair sits at a small table across from a woman with brown hair, in what looks like a cafe or bar. A yellow coffee cup sits on the table.
Woman: SO, DO YOU THINK POST-STRUCTURALISM IS A VALID MODE OF LITERARY INTERPRETATION?
Blond man: WELL...
Caption (below panel): One of the skills i've found to be very useful in life is vomiting on command.
Votey:
The woman recoils, raising a hand. Lines and a small splatter near the blond man's mouth indicate he has just vomited.
Woman: I SAID POST-STRUCTURAL! NOT POST-MODERN!
Caption: *EDITOR'S NOTE: HEYO!

A man with blond hair sits across a small cafe table from a woman with brown hair, a yellow coffee cup between them. The woman asks, "So, do you think post-structuralism is a valid mode of literary interpretation?" The man begins, "Well..." The caption below reads: "One of the skills i've found to be very useful in life is vomiting on command." In the votey aftercomic, drawn in rough black-and-white, the woman recoils with a raised hand as the man vomits, and she exclaims, "I said post-structural! Not post-modern!" An editor's note adds, "HEYO!" The joke: the man would rather vomit than answer the literary theory question, and the punchline puns on confusing post-structuralism with postmodernism.
