The comic is a mock personal ad printed on a blue background, written in the style of a classified "seeking" listing. The header reads "MALE for FEMALE." Below it, under "PREFERABLE:", two bullet points read "Unattractive" and "Crushingly low self esteem." At the bottom in bold capitals: "MUST ENJOY GIVING ME $300 TO MAKE RENT THIS MONTH." The joke is that the ad-writer is openly seeking an insecure woman he can financially exploit. The votey (aftercomic), handwritten on white paper, continues the list of demands: "must have own apartment, and a whole pie of some kind" — escalating the absurd, self-serving requirements.
