A two-panel comic. Panel 1: A brown-haired man tells a smiling blonde woman, "Your hair looks lovely today." She replies, "Really? Thanks!" He adds, "Also, I'm not cheating on you!" Panel 2, labeled "THE DAY PRIOR...": an older man in sunglasses and an orange shirt advises the same younger man, "Son, if you can get a woman to fall for one lie, she'll definitely fall for two." The joke: the dad coaches his son to slip a real lie past a woman by pairing it with a flattering one. Votey: a man says "I'm thirsty," gets "Okay..." in response, then immediately adds, "You find me attractive!" — demonstrating the same trick of smuggling a false claim in behind a true one.
