Main comic, single panel under a yellow banner reading "WHO SAYS SCIENCE ISN'T ROMANTIC?" A close-up of a couple embracing: a man (back of his head to us) tenderly gazes at a blonde woman. He says, "Darling, I will never stop loving you." She replies, "But how can you be sure?!" He answers, "Tumor of the caudate nucleus" — citing a brain lesion as the guarantee of his undying love. Votey (a small black-and-white aftercomic): a crude sketch of the same man, now alone, leaning toward and gazing lovingly at a thin pole/post; a passerby in the background asks, "Why is he talking to that pole?" — revealing the brain damage has him romancing an inanimate object.
