This comic has no written dialogue or captions in the main six panels; the story is told visually.
Panel 1: A young man with brown hair in a green shirt sits alone at a small table with a drink, looking lonely and downcast. Behind him, silhouetted figures dance at a party.
Panel 2: An exterior night scene. Tall blue buildings under a dark sky with a crescent moon. The same small figure walks alone down an empty street.
Panel 3: The man lies on a bed in a dim room, resting his face in his hands, daydreaming. A thought bubble above him contains a large red heart.
Panel 4: Close on the man, now smiling broadly with hands raised, a speech/thought bubble with a red heart and an exclamation mark beside him. A large yellow shape (a person) looms in the foreground.
Panel 5: A red-haired woman in a pink shirt smiles nervously, raising one hand in greeting/protest. The man's brown hair and raised hand are visible at the left edge as he approaches her.
Panel 6: Back at the party in a purple room. The man in the green shirt is now out on the floor among the dancing silhouetted figures, the woman beside him, with his drink left abandoned on the table in the foreground.
Votey: A woman with curly hair leans in, shouting in a large speech bubble, "EVERY DAMN TIME!" A smaller speech bubble replies, "SORRY..."

A wordless six-panel SMBC comic about a lonely man at a party. Panel 1: a brown-haired man in a green shirt sits alone with a drink while silhouetted people dance behind him. Panel 2: he walks alone down an empty blue city street at night under a crescent moon. Panel 3: lying on a bed, he daydreams a thought bubble containing a red heart. Panel 4: he beams with raised hands, a red-heart-and-exclamation bubble beside him, a large person looming nearby. Panel 5: he approaches a nervous-smiling red-haired woman in pink who raises a hand. Panel 6: he is now happily out on the dance floor among the silhouetted dancers with the woman, his abandoned drink on the table in front. The joke: imagining love gives the lonely man the nerve to actually join in. Votey aftercomic: a curly-haired woman leans in and yells "EVERY DAMN TIME!" while a small reply bubble meekly says "SORRY..."
