A four-panel-style SMBC strip titled "MARRIAGE COUNSELING MYTHS: 'COMMUNICATION IS ALWAYS GOOD.'" A couple sits together on a couch in a counselor's office; the back of the counselor's head is in the foreground. In three speech bubbles, the man complains: "Do I have to say 'I love you?' It just feels like I'm lying. Lying to an ugly girl." The joke is that communication isn't always good when it's brutally insulting. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the woman beside him, looking hurt and irritated, deadpan saying "Who's too sensitive."
