Title banner: DATING TIPS
YOUR HOPES AND DREAMS ARE ONLY ENDEARING IF THEY'RE NICE

Panel 1:
A man with red hair (leaning forward, hands raised earnestly), speaking to a woman with brown hair seen from behind across a table: "JUST ONCE, I'D LIKE TO SEE A PLANE CRASH."

Votey:
Inside an airplane cabin, a passenger in a window seat looks out cheerfully and shouts: "WOOHOO!" Outside the window the sun shines over the sea, while a dark plume of smoke/flames rises ominously beside the plane, implying it is going down.

A two-part SMBC comic. The main panel has a yellow 'DATING TIPS' banner reading 'Your hopes and dreams are only endearing if they're nice.' Below, a red-haired man leans eagerly toward a brown-haired woman (shown from behind) across a table on a date and says, 'Just once, I'd like to see a plane crash.' The black-and-white votey delivers the punchline: inside an airplane cabin, a grinning passenger at the window seat yells 'Woohoo!' as a sunny sky shows over the sea, but billowing dark smoke and flames beside the plane reveal it is actually crashing, gleefully fulfilling his stated dream.
