Title banner (top of panel): BAN THE F-WORD! (ARGUING WOULD BE MUCH FUNNIER)

Panel: A man with light hair sits at a small dining table, head lowered, eyes shut, a sweat-bead on his face, looking miserable. A blonde woman in a pink shirt stands behind/beside the table, hands raised in agitation, shouting at him.

Woman: "YOU'RE CANOODLING HER! YOU'RE CANOODLING YOUR SECRETARY, AREN'T YOU?! YOU MOTHER CANOODLER!"

Caption beneath the panel (the man's reply): "Would you canoodlin' shut up, you canoodlin' bitch!"

Votey:
A loose, sketchy close-up of the same man's downcast, weary face. Hand-lettered text above him reads: "Canoodle my life"

A single-panel comic under a yellow banner reading 'BAN THE F-WORD! (ARGUING WOULD BE MUCH FUNNIER)'. At a small dining table, a light-haired man sits with his head down, eyes shut and a bead of sweat on his face, looking defeated. A blonde woman in a pink shirt stands over him, hands raised, yelling: 'You're canoodling her! You're canoodling your secretary, aren't you?! You mother canoodler!' The caption below, his reply, reads: 'Would you canoodlin' shut up, you canoodlin' bitch!' The joke: every profanity has been swapped for the word 'canoodle,' turning a vicious affair argument absurd. Votey (aftercomic): a rough sketch of the same weary man's slumped face, with hand-lettered text above reading 'Canoodle my life.'
