Panel: A tour guide (wearing a cap reading "TOUR GUIDE") stands in the foreground looking annoyed/unamused. Behind him, a woman walks alongside a man, and another woman is visible in the background.

Man (with hands on his cheeks, exasperated): I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE MUSEUM OF TOLERANCE! NOT THE MUSEUM OF BORING.

Votey:
A woman faces a man.
Woman: MY MOM PASSED AWAY.
Man: YAWN!

An SMBC comic. A yellow title banner reads "SMBC PRESENTS: BREAK-UP SECRETS, EPISODE ONE: Don't break up with her. Have her break up with you." In the panel, a grumpy tour guide wearing a "TOUR GUIDE" cap stands in the foreground. Behind him a man walking with a woman puts his hands to his cheeks and complains, "I thought this was the museum of TOLERANCE! Not the museum of BORING." The joke: he's deliberately acting insufferable so his girlfriend will dump him. Votey (black-and-white aftercomic): the woman tells the man "My mom passed away," and he flatly responds "Yawn!" — doubling down on being unbearable.
