A two-panel SMBC comic. A yellow title banner reads "CONFESSION STRATEGIES: EXPLAIN YOURSELF WITH METAPHOR!" In the main panel, a red-haired woman seen from behind sits across a table from a man named Steve. She tells him: "Steve, you and I... we're like apples and oranges. I'm the oranges, and the oranges are doing your brother." The joke: she's using a comparison metaphor to confess infidelity. In the votey (a black-and-white sketch close-up of the woman's face), she adds, "Your brother is a huge banana" - extending the fruit metaphor to a crude punchline.
