A single-panel comic. A red-haired man in a green shirt gestures defensively at a blonde woman in a blue shirt, who holds up a pink bra by its strap. He says, "I AM NOT CHEATING ON YOU!" She asks, "THEN WHOSE IS THIS?" He replies, "THE WOMAN I'M SLEEPING WITH ON THE SIDE." She responds with stunned silence: "..." He adds, "OH, YOU MEAN THAT KIND OF CHEATING?" The caption beneath reads: "Todd then refused to get into an argument about semantics." The joke: he genuinely distinguishes literal infidelity from his own definition of cheating. Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the man's face dismissively saying, "Tomato, tomahto" — treating the two meanings as interchangeable.
