Panel 1:
A man with reddish-orange hair, his back partly to us, gestures with his hands toward a woman with brown hair in a green shirt. They appear to be on a date.
Man: I FIND THE THOUGHT OF YOU MAKES ME PHYSICALLY ILL, BEAUTIFUL.
Woman (smiling, blushing): AWW...

Caption (below panel): Well, apparently she knows one word of sign language.

Votey:
A simple line drawing of the smiling woman's face looking down at a hand making the sign-language gesture for "I love you" (extended thumb, index finger, and pinky), with the other fingers curled.

A man with reddish-orange hair, seen mostly from behind, gestures with both hands toward a smiling, blushing brown-haired woman in a green shirt as if on a date. His speech bubble reads, "I find the thought of you makes me physically ill, beautiful," and she replies, "Aww..." A caption below reads: "Well, apparently she knows one word of sign language." The joke: while speaking those insulting words aloud, the man's hands form the American Sign Language sign for "I love you," and she responds to the sign rather than the spoken insult. Votey (aftercomic): a simple line drawing of the woman gazing fondly down at a hand making the ASL "I love you" sign (thumb, index finger, and pinky extended).
