A two-panel-style comic. In the main panel, a brown-haired man seen from behind recoils and exclaims, "OW! WHAT WAS THAT?" A mustached, orange-haired man named Ted earnestly replies, "Well, since your website says you 'love' drugs, I thought I'd give you a heroin injection!" The caption below reads: "Ted is still learning the finer points of reverse psychology." The joke is that Ted has misunderstood reverse psychology, literally acting on people's stated loves. In the votey aftercomic (rough black-and-white sketch), Ted holds up two big dollar-sign money bags and asks a curly-haired person, "So, you 'love' money eh?" while the person quietly chuckles "hehe" — implying Ted is about to mug or pelt them with cash next.
