Panel 1:
A father stands in silhouette in a cemetery with two children, facing a tombstone. The sun is setting over green hills against a pink/magenta sky. The tombstone reads: "SUE ANDERS".
Child (speech bubble): "DADDY, WHY DOES MOMMY HAVE A DIFFERENT NAME EVERY TIME WE VISIT HER?"
Caption below the panel: Really should've learned her name.
Votey:
Close-up of the silhouetted father reaching toward the tombstone. The name "SUE ANDERS" has been crossed out and scribbled over, and he has written "Mom." underneath it.

A black-and-white-and-pink SMBC comic. In a cemetery at sunset, a father stands in silhouette with two small children, looking at a tombstone engraved "SUE ANDERS." A child asks, "Daddy, why does Mommy have a different name every time we visit her?" The caption reads: "Really should've learned her name" — implying the father keeps guessing his dead wife's name wrong on each visit. The votey aftercomic shows a close-up of the father reaching toward the tombstone, having crossed out "SUE ANDERS" and scrawled "Mom." in its place as his fix.
